      2-ton central heat pump · G Series

      GREE WLUD30W2/NHG-D(U)

      Average cooling efficiency and below average heating efficiency for a 2-ton central heat pump, but not rated for cold climates.

      Ranks #198 of 331 2 ton central heat pumps for cooling efficiency, and costs about $842 a year to run in a mixed climate like Atlanta.

      A good fit if…

      • You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.

      Think twice if…

      • You often see nights below 0°F - it is not cold-climate certified.
      • You mainly need heat - its HSPF2 is below average for central heat pumps.

      Questions5
      What is the SEER2 rating of the GREE WLUD30W2/NHG-D(U)?
      The GREE WLUD30W2/NHG-D(U) is rated at up to 17.5 SEER2 and 11.2 EER2 for cooling and up to 8.3 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.
      Is the GREE WLUD30W2/NHG-D(U) good for cold climates?
      It is not cold-climate certified: none of its matchups meet the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria (a COP of at least 1.75 at 5°F among other limits). In places with frequent sub-zero nights, pick a cold-climate 2-ton model.
      How much does the GREE WLUD30W2/NHG-D(U) cost to run per year?
      At its rated efficiency it costs about $726-$2,033 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $908 in Phoenix and $1,708 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 GREE WLUD30W2/NHG-D(U)?
      ENERGY STAR lists 1 certified combination for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses WLUD30AH2/G-D(U).
      What refrigerant does the GREE WLUD30W2/NHG-D(U) use?
      It uses R-32.

      Estimates use the unit's rated SEER2 and HSPF2, full-load hours derived from NOAA 1991-2020 degree days, average residential electricity prices from the U.S. EIA (12 months to July 2026) and fuel prices from EIA (2025 for natural gas, week of 2026-10-05 for propane and heating oil). Very cold days that need backup heat are not modelled. Federal minimum for comparison: 14.3 SEER2 / 7.5 HSPF2.
