Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the TURBRO GREENLAND-M42K/O?
- The TURBRO GREENLAND-M42K/O is rated at up to 22.0 SEER2 and 11.2 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 TURBRO GREENLAND-M42K/O good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 30,000 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 TURBRO GREENLAND-M42K/O cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $900-$2,604 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,137 in Phoenix and $2,197 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
- Is the TURBRO GREENLAND-M42K/O the same as the VENTAGEN TV5H42FM20X454?
- 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.
- What refrigerant does the TURBRO GREENLAND-M42K/O use?
- It uses R-454B.
