Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the ECO-AIR EDSO-60H?
- The ECO-AIR EDSO-60H is rated at up to 15.8 SEER2 and 10.2 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.4 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.
- Is the ECO-AIR EDSO-60H good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 53,500 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.10, so it is still 2.1 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
- How much does the ECO-AIR EDSO-60H cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $1,528-$3,784 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,927 in Phoenix and $3,101 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
- Which indoor units work with the ECO-AIR EDSO-60H?
- ENERGY STAR lists 1 certified combination for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses EDHS-60U.
- What refrigerant does the ECO-AIR EDSO-60H use?
- It uses R-454B.
