      A good fit if…

      • Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 40,000 BTU/h at 5°F.
      • It will heat most of the year - its HSPF2 beats 75% of mini-splits.
      • 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.

      Questions6
      What is the SEER2 rating of the Blueridge BMY36HHUC?
      The Blueridge BMY36HHUC is rated at up to 19.4 SEER2 and 9.5 EER2 for cooling and up to 11.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 3 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 16.5-19.4.
      Is the Blueridge BMY36HHUC good for cold climates?
      Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 40,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.98, so it is still 2.0 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
      How much does the Blueridge BMY36HHUC cost to run per year?
      At its rated efficiency it costs about $872-$2,304 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,071 in Phoenix and $1,922 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
      Is the Blueridge BMY36HHUC the same as the TRUST AIR CONDITIONERS OAH36H/O4S41P?
      Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists 6 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.
      Which indoor units work with the Blueridge BMY36HHUC?
      ENERGY STAR lists 3 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use BLUERIDGE BM36MCC, BLUERIDGE BM36MFCC, BLUERIDGE BM36MCD.
      What refrigerant does the Blueridge BMY36HHUC 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.

      Estimates use the unit's rated SEER2 and HSPF2, full-load hours derived from NOAA 1991-2020 degree days, average residential electricity prices from the U.S. EIA (12 months to July 2026) and fuel prices from EIA (2025 for natural gas, week of 2026-10-05 for propane and heating oil). Very cold days that need backup heat are not modelled. Federal minimum for comparison: 14.3 SEER2 / 7.5 HSPF2.
