      A good fit if…

      • You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.

      Think twice if…

      • You often see nights below 0°F - it is not cold-climate certified.
      • 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.

      Questions5
      What is the SEER2 rating of the Trane / Mitsubishi Electric NTXSKH09A112?
      The Trane / Mitsubishi Electric NTXSKH09A112 is rated at up to 19.0 SEER2 and 12.5 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.
      Is the Trane / Mitsubishi Electric NTXSKH09A112 good for cold climates?
      It is not cold-climate certified: none of its matchups meet the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria (a COP of at least 1.75 at 5°F among other limits). In places with frequent sub-zero nights, pick a cold-climate 9,000 BTU model.
      How much does the Trane / Mitsubishi Electric NTXSKH09A112 cost to run per year?
      At its rated efficiency it costs about $225-$727 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $294 in Phoenix and $621 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 Trane / Mitsubishi Electric NTXSKH09A112?
      ENERGY STAR lists 3 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use NTXUKS09A112, MLZ-KP09NA, PEAD-A09AA9.
      What refrigerant does the Trane / Mitsubishi Electric NTXSKH09A112 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.

      Estimates use the unit's rated SEER2 and HSPF2, full-load hours derived from NOAA 1991-2020 degree days, average residential electricity prices from the U.S. EIA (12 months to July 2026) and fuel prices from EIA (2025 for natural gas, week of 2026-10-05 for propane and heating oil). Very cold days that need backup heat are not modelled. Federal minimum for comparison: 14.3 SEER2 / 7.5 HSPF2.
