What is the SEER2 rating of the MRCOOL MVP-24-HP-C-230A00-O?

The MRCOOL MVP-24-HP-C-230A00-O is rated at up to 18.1 SEER2 and 11.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.7 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 51 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 15.8-18.1.

Is the MRCOOL MVP-24-HP-C-230A00-O good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 21,600 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 MRCOOL MVP-24-HP-C-230A00-O cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $623-$1,635 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $763 in Phoenix and $1,363 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 MRCOOL MVP-24-HP-C-230A00-O?

ENERGY STAR lists 51 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use MVP-24-HP-MUAH-230A00-O, MCMP1824BOTB, **AECMPT24B2AA.
