A good fit if…
- You want a choice of indoor units - 264 certified pairings.
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 central heat pumps.
- You mainly need heat - its HSPF2 is below average for central heat pumps.
- Comfort and noise matter - a single-stage compressor runs only full-on or off.

Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the Armstrong Air A7HP14F24P-**A?
- The Armstrong Air A7HP14F24P-**A is rated at up to 16.0 SEER2 and 13.8 EER2 for cooling and up to 8.2 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 264 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 15.2-16.0.
- Is the Armstrong Air A7HP14F24P-**A 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 2-ton model.
- How much does the Armstrong Air A7HP14F24P-**A cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $697-$1,728 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $840 in Phoenix and $1,429 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 Armstrong Air A7HP14F24P-**A?
- ENERGY STAR lists 264 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use 7AH1AE30PX-, 7AH2AE30PX-, 7AH2AV30PXC.
