What is the SEER2 rating of the Lennox VPD060S6M-5P?

The Lennox VPD060S6M-5P is rated at up to 20.0 SEER2 and 12.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.2 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 3 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 16.5-20.0.

Is the Lennox VPD060S6M-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 2.20, so it is still 2.2 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Lennox VPD060S6M-5P cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $1,414-$4,026 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,777 in Phoenix and $3,390 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Is the Lennox VPD060S6M-5P the same as the Samsung AM060FCMDCG?

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.
