What is the SEER2 rating of the Lennox 3WPD036S6S-1P?

The Lennox 3WPD036S6S-1P is rated at up to 20.0 SEER2 and 12.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.

Is the Lennox 3WPD036S6S-1P good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 36,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.80, so it is still 1.8 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Lennox 3WPD036S6S-1P cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $784-$2,667 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,046 in Phoenix and $2,289 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Is the Lennox 3WPD036S6S-1P the same as the Samsung AR36DXFUMGMX?

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 Lennox 3WPD036S6S-1P?

ENERGY STAR lists 1 certified combination for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses LENNOX 3WMD036S6-1P.

A good fit if…

Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 36,000 BTU/h at 5°F.
You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.

Think twice if…

Cooling cost matters most - its SEER2 is below average for mini-splits.
You mainly need heat - its HSPF2 is below average for mini-splits.
