What is the SEER2 rating of the Jetson HP-18ODU-001?

The Jetson HP-18ODU-001 is rated at up to 17.0 SEER2 and 12.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.3 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.

Is the Jetson HP-18ODU-001 good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 18,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.95, so it is still 2.0 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Jetson HP-18ODU-001 cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $496-$1,249 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $601 in Phoenix and $1,035 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 Jetson HP-18ODU-001?

ENERGY STAR lists 2 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use HP-18IDU-001, HP-18IDU-002.
