Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the TCL H27FMH22XPC?
- The TCL H27FMH22XPC is rated at up to 24.0 SEER2 and 12.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.5 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 2 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 21.0-24.0.
- Is the TCL H27FMH22XPC good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 19,800 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.00, so it is still 2.0 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
- How much does the TCL H27FMH22XPC cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $532-$1,632 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $685 in Phoenix and $1,386 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
- Is the TCL H27FMH22XPC the same as the TCL TMH27HEI2NAO0U24?
- Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists 7 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.
- What refrigerant does the TCL H27FMH22XPC use?
- It uses R-454B.
