What is the SEER2 rating of the RUSSELL SP19AY24AJVC?

The RUSSELL SP19AY24AJVC is rated at up to 21.0 SEER2 and 13.0 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 65 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 20.0-21.0.

Is the RUSSELL SP19AY24AJVC good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 19,500 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.10, so it is still 2.1 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the RUSSELL SP19AY24AJVC cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $512-$1,487 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $648 in Phoenix and $1,255 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
