What is the SEER2 rating of the MRCOOL MVP-60-HP-C-230A00-O?

The MRCOOL MVP-60-HP-C-230A00-O is rated at up to 15.5 SEER2 and 8.5 EER2 for cooling and up to 8.6 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 3 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 15.2-15.5.

Is the MRCOOL MVP-60-HP-C-230A00-O good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 40,000 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 MVP-60-HP-C-230A00-O cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $1,476-$3,642 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,832 in Phoenix and $2,993 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-60-HP-C-230A00-O?

ENERGY STAR lists 3 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use MCMP4860COTB, **AECMPT60D2AA, MVP-60-HP-MUAH-230A00-O.

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.
