What is the SEER2 rating of the Innovair MOS30H2BE5A?

The Innovair MOS30H2BE5A is rated at up to 20.0 SEER2 and 11.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.2 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.

Is the Innovair MOS30H2BE5A 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 30,000 BTU model.

How much does the Innovair MOS30H2BE5A cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $707-$2,026 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $890 in Phoenix and $1,707 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Is the Innovair MOS30H2BE5A the same as the 1HVAC ACIQ-30Z-HP230C?

Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists both 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.

Which indoor units work with the Innovair MOS30H2BE5A?

ENERGY STAR lists 2 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use INNOVAIR MHW30H2BERB, INNOVAIR MHW30H2BERA.

30,000 BTU mini-split heat pump · MOS Series

Innovair MOS30H2BE5A

Below average cooling and heating efficiency for a 30,000 BTU mini-split heat pump, but not rated for cold climates.

Ranks #137 of 171 30,000 BTU mini-splits for cooling efficiency, and costs about $834 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.
Cooling cost matters most - its SEER2 is below average for mini-splits.
You mainly need heat - its HSPF2 is below average for mini-splits.
