Under 1.5-ton central heat pump · AT2239
Atomi Smart AT2239
Excellent cooling efficiency and below average heating efficiency for a under 1.5-ton central heat pump, but not rated for cold climates.
Ranks #2 of 9 Under 1.5 ton central heat pumps for cooling efficiency, and costs about $355 a year to run in a mixed climate like Atlanta.

A good fit if…
- You want low cooling bills - its SEER2 beats 100% of central heat pumps.
- 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.
- You mainly need heat - its HSPF2 is below average for central heat pumps.

Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the Atomi Smart AT2239?
- The Atomi Smart AT2239 is rated at up to 23.9 SEER2 and 13.1 EER2 for cooling and up to 8.3 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.
- Is the Atomi Smart AT2239 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 under 1.5-ton model.
- How much does the Atomi Smart AT2239 cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $240-$910 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $333 in Phoenix and $789 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
- What refrigerant does the Atomi Smart AT2239 use?
- It uses R-32.
