What is the SEER2 rating of the Samsung AR60H09C1JWX?

The Samsung AR60H09C1JWX is rated at up to 21.0 SEER2 and 15.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.

Is the Samsung AR60H09C1JWX good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 8,500 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.91, so it is still 1.9 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Samsung AR60H09C1JWX cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $204-$727 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $277 in Phoenix and $627 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Is the Samsung AR60H09C1JWX the same as the Samsung MWHE009S6S-1P?

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.

Which indoor units work with the Samsung AR60H09C1JWX?

ENERGY STAR lists 1 certified combination for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses SAMSUNG AR60H09C1JWN.
