A good fit if…
- You want low cooling bills - its SEER2 beats 72% of mini-splits.
- You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.
Think twice if…
- You often see nights below 0°F - it is not cold-climate certified.
- You mainly need heat - its HSPF2 is below average for mini-splits.
- You want the newest refrigerant - it uses R-410A, which is being phased down.

Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the Midea MMCMRAQ36DA3?
- The Midea MMCMRAQ36DA3 is rated at up to 23.9 SEER2 and 11.7 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.5 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 3 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 20.0-23.9.
- Is the Midea MMCMRAQ36DA3 good for cold climates?
- It is not cold-climate certified: none of its matchups meet the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria (a COP of at least 1.75 at 5°F among other limits). In places with frequent sub-zero nights, pick a cold-climate 36,000 BTU model.
- How much does the Midea MMCMRAQ36DA3 cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $715-$2,351 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $942 in Phoenix and $2,011 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
- Is the Midea MMCMRAQ36DA3 the same as the AC Pro A4OG-36HFN1-M?
- Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists 8 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.
- What refrigerant does the Midea MMCMRAQ36DA3 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.
