What is the SEER2 rating of the Armstrong Air A7SCP18V60P-**A?

The Armstrong Air A7SCP18V60P-**A is rated at up to 18.3 SEER2 and 11.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.6 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 500 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 15.2-18.3.

Is the Armstrong Air A7SCP18V60P-**A good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 45,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.95, so it is still 2.0 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Armstrong Air A7SCP18V60P-**A cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $1,169-$3,152 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,445 in Phoenix and $2,636 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 A7SCP18V60P-**A?

Questions5

What is the SEER2 rating of the Armstrong Air A7SCP18V60P-**A?: The Armstrong Air A7SCP18V60P-**A is rated at up to 18.3 SEER2 and 11.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.6 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 500 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 15.2-18.3.
Is the Armstrong Air A7SCP18V60P-**A good for cold climates?: Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 45,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.95, so it is still 2.0 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
How much does the Armstrong Air A7SCP18V60P-**A cost to run per year?: At its rated efficiency it costs about $1,169-$3,152 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,445 in Phoenix and $2,636 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 A7SCP18V60P-**A?: ENERGY STAR lists 500 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use 7E[C,U]49CX-**+TDR, 7AH1AV48PX-, 7AH2AV42PXC-.
What refrigerant does the Armstrong Air A7SCP18V60P-**A use?: It uses R-454B.
