What is the SEER2 rating of the Blueridge BMKH24MC?

The Blueridge BMKH24MC is rated at up to 21.0 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 Blueridge BMKH24MC good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 21,600 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.10, so it is still 2.1 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Blueridge BMKH24MC cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $521-$1,491 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $656 in Phoenix and $1,257 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Is the Blueridge BMKH24MC the same as the Comfort-Aire A-VFH24TC-1?

Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists 8 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 Blueridge BMKH24MC 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.

A good fit if…

Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 21,600 BTU/h at 5°F.
You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.

Think twice if…

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.
