What is the SEER2 rating of the Friedrich FRP17AY24AJVC?

The Friedrich FRP17AY24AJVC is rated at up to 17.0 SEER2 and 11.7 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.5 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 88 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 16.0-17.0.

Is the Friedrich FRP17AY24AJVC good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 18,400 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.20, so it is still 2.2 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Friedrich FRP17AY24AJVC cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $617-$1,521 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $743 in Phoenix and $1,257 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Questions5

What is the SEER2 rating of the Friedrich FRP17AY24AJVC?: The Friedrich FRP17AY24AJVC is rated at up to 17.0 SEER2 and 11.7 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.5 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 88 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 16.0-17.0.
Is the Friedrich FRP17AY24AJVC good for cold climates?: Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 18,400 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.20, so it is still 2.2 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
How much does the Friedrich FRP17AY24AJVC cost to run per year?: At its rated efficiency it costs about $617-$1,521 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $743 in Phoenix and $1,257 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 Friedrich FRP17AY24AJVC?: ENERGY STAR lists 88 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use TCFY2417STANM, RCFY2417STANM.
What refrigerant does the Friedrich FRP17AY24AJVC use?: It uses R-454B.
