Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the MDV MOX330-09HFN1-MY5W?
- The MDV MOX330-09HFN1-MY5W is rated at up to 28.1 SEER2 and 16.2 EER2 for cooling and up to 12.4 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 16 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 20.2-28.1.
- Is the MDV MOX330-09HFN1-MY5W good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 11,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.00, so it is still 2.0 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
- How much does the MDV MOX330-09HFN1-MY5W cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $152-$526 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $204 in Phoenix and $452 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 MDV MOX330-09HFN1-MY5W?
- ENERGY STAR lists 16 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use MSEPB-09HRFN1-MY5W(GA), ECO-AIR MSEPB-09HRFN1-MY5W(GA), Alsetria MSEPB-09HRFN1-MY5W(GA).
- What refrigerant does the MDV MOX330-09HFN1-MY5W use?
- It uses R-410A. R-410A is being phased down under the EPA AIM Act, and new systems are moving to R-454B and R-32.
