A good fit if…
- Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 27,000 BTU/h at 5°F.
- It will heat most of the year - its HSPF2 beats 84% of mini-splits.
- You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.
Think twice if…
- Cooling cost matters most - its SEER2 is below average for mini-splits.
- You want the newest refrigerant - it uses R-410A, which is being phased down.

Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the Senville SENA/24HF/OQ?
- The Senville SENA/24HF/OQ is rated at up to 21.5 SEER2 and 13.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 11.5 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 7 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 19.2-21.5.
- Is the Senville SENA/24HF/OQ good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 27,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.21, so it is still 2.2 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
- How much does the Senville SENA/24HF/OQ cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $524-$1,379 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $643 in Phoenix and $1,150 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 Senville SENA/24HF/OQ?
- ENERGY STAR lists 7 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use SENVILLE SENA/24HF/IQ, SENVILLE SENA/24HF/ICQ, SENVILLE SENA/24HF/IF.
- What refrigerant does the Senville SENA/24HF/OQ 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.
