A good fit if…
- Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 27,000 BTU/h at 5°F.
- You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.
Think twice if…
- Cooling cost matters most - its SEER2 is below average for mini-splits.
- You want the newest refrigerant - it uses R-410A, which is being phased down.

Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the Goodman MST273G22MHAA?
- The Goodman MST273G22MHAA is rated at up to 20.5 SEER2 and 11.8 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 3 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 19.0-20.5.
- Is the Goodman MST273G22MHAA good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 27,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.80, so it is still 1.8 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
- How much does the Goodman MST273G22MHAA cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $620-$1,696 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $769 in Phoenix and $1,421 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
- Is the Goodman MST273G22MHAA the same as the AI AIR CONDITIONING A3MO22-27N1-M1H?
- Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists 4 model numbers with identical efficiency, capacity and matchups, which means the same outdoor unit sold under a different brand or with a minor variant code (voltage, colour or region). The full list is on this page.
- What refrigerant does the Goodman MST273G22MHAA use?
- It uses R-410A. R-410A is being phased down under the EPA AIM Act, and new systems are moving to R-454B and R-32.
