What is the SEER2 rating of the Innovair SHV36H2BA?

The Innovair SHV36H2BA is rated at up to 16.5 SEER2 and 10.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 8.2 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.

Is the Innovair SHV36H2BA good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 32,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.85, so it is still 1.9 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Innovair SHV36H2BA cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $1,027-$2,829 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,277 in Phoenix and $2,373 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Is the Innovair SHV36H2BA the same as the Mitsutomo UHO33-NB-LD-Q?

Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists 3 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 SHV36H2BA?

ENERGY STAR lists 1 certified combination for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses SAV36BDA.

A good fit if…

Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 32,000 BTU/h at 5°F.
You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.

Think twice if…

You mainly need heat - its HSPF2 is below average for central heat pumps.
