Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the MDV MOX630-36HFN10-M3X?
- The MDV MOX630-36HFN10-M3X is rated at up to 18.0 SEER2 and 12.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.3 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 61 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 15.2-18.0.
- Is the MDV MOX630-36HFN10-M3X good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 39,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.90, so it is still 1.9 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
- How much does the MDV MOX630-36HFN10-M3X cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $923-$2,266 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,121 in Phoenix and $1,868 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 MOX630-36HFN10-M3X?
- ENERGY STAR lists 61 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use MVBDM-36HWFN10-WB3, MVBDM-36HWFN10-WB3-D, MVBDM-36HWFN10-WB3-MAS.
- What refrigerant does the MDV MOX630-36HFN10-M3X use?
- It uses R-454B.
