What is the SEER2 rating of the Kenmore B5H0V24*K*AAA?

The Kenmore B5H0V24*K*AAA is rated at up to 19.0 SEER2 and 11.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 284 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 15.5-19.0.

Is the Kenmore B5H0V24*K*AAA good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 17,300 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.04, so it is still 2.0 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Kenmore B5H0V24*K*AAA cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $595-$1,666 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $744 in Phoenix and $1,400 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Questions5

What is the SEER2 rating of the Kenmore B5H0V24*K*AAA?: The Kenmore B5H0V24*K*AAA is rated at up to 19.0 SEER2 and 11.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 284 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 15.5-19.0.
Is the Kenmore B5H0V24*K*AAA good for cold climates?: Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 17,300 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.04, so it is still 2.0 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
How much does the Kenmore B5H0V24*K*AAA cost to run per year?: At its rated efficiency it costs about $595-$1,666 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $744 in Phoenix and $1,400 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 Kenmore B5H0V24*K*AAA?: ENERGY STAR lists 284 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use EVD5X31M17A*+WALLCON, EVD5X38M17A*+WALLCON, EVM5X32M17A*+WALLCON.
What refrigerant does the Kenmore B5H0V24*K*AAA use?: It uses R-454B.
