What is the SEER2 rating of the MRCOOL MDPH180484?

The MRCOOL MDPH180484 is rated at up to 17.8 SEER2 and 11.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 8.5 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.

Is the MRCOOL MDPH180484 good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 46,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.80, so it is still 1.8 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the MRCOOL MDPH180484 cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $1,243-$3,459 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,551 in Phoenix and $2,905 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Is the MRCOOL MDPH180484 the same as the AC Pro AK-H04TC/NAA-T(U)?

Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists both 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 MRCOOL MDPH180484 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.

4-ton packaged heat pump · Universal Series Inverter Packaged Heat Pump

MRCOOL MDPH180484

Very good cooling and heating efficiency for a 4-ton packaged heat pump, and certified for cold climates.

Ranks #4 of 17 4 ton packaged heat pumps for cooling efficiency, and costs about $1,434 a year to run in a mixed climate like Atlanta.

A good fit if…

You want low cooling bills - its SEER2 beats 81% of packaged heat pumps.
Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 46,000 BTU/h at 5°F.
It will heat most of the year - its HSPF2 beats 73% of packaged heat pumps.
You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.

Think twice if…

You want the newest refrigerant - it uses R-410A, which is being phased down.
