What is the SEER2 rating of the TOSOT TWH36CD32AO?

The TOSOT TWH36CD32AO is rated at up to 21.0 SEER2 and 12.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 8.5 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 5 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 20.0-21.0.

Is the TOSOT TWH36CD32AO good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 24,600 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 TOSOT TWH36CD32AO cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $758-$2,428 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $990 in Phoenix and $2,071 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Is the TOSOT TWH36CD32AO the same as the TOSOT TW36HC32A5DO?

Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists 3 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 TOSOT TWH36CD32AO?

ENERGY STAR lists 5 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use TWH36CD32AI, TKH36D32AI, TTH36D32AI.

A good fit if…

Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 24,600 BTU/h at 5°F.
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 mainly need heat - its HSPF2 is below average for mini-splits.
