What is the SEER2 rating of the MDV MOX430-15HFN10-M1H?

The MDV MOX430-15HFN10-M1H is rated at up to 27.0 SEER2 and 13.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 11.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.

Is the MDV MOX430-15HFN10-M1H good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 13,500 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 MOX430-15HFN10-M1H cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $263-$830 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $342 in Phoenix and $707 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Is the MDV MOX430-15HFN10-M1H the same as the KERR A-ZKP15SA-1?

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.

Which indoor units work with the MDV MOX430-15HFN10-M1H?

ENERGY STAR lists 1 certified combination for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses MSEPC-15HRFN10-M1H.

Estimates use the unit's rated SEER2 and HSPF2, full-load hours derived from NOAA 1991-2020 degree days, average residential electricity prices from the U.S. EIA (12 months to July 2026) and fuel prices from EIA (2025 for natural gas, week of 2026-10-05 for propane and heating oil). Very cold days that need backup heat are not modelled. Federal minimum for comparison: 14.3 SEER2 / 7.5 HSPF2.
