What is the SEER2 rating of the Lennox VPD060H6M-5P?

The Lennox VPD060H6M-5P is rated at up to 23.0 SEER2 and 13.8 EER2 for cooling and up to 11.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 3 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 19.0-23.0.

Is the Lennox VPD060H6M-5P good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 47,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.40, so it is still 2.4 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Lennox VPD060H6M-5P cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $1,232-$3,692 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,574 in Phoenix and $3,127 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Is the Lennox VPD060H6M-5P the same as the Samsung AM060FCMDCG1?

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.
