A good fit if…
- You want a certified 2-ton central heat pump at a typical efficiency level.
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.
- You want the newest refrigerant - it uses R-410A, which is being phased down.

Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the Bryant 225SAN024**AA?
- The Bryant 225SAN024**AA is rated at up to 15.2 SEER2 and 12.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 7.8 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.
- Is the Bryant 225SAN024**AA 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 Bryant 225SAN024**AA cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $723-$1,903 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $887 in Phoenix and $1,586 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
- Is the Bryant 225SAN024**AA the same as the Heil R4H5S24*K*AAA?
- Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists both 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 Bryant 225SAN024**AA?
- ENERGY STAR lists 1 certified combination for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses CAP**3617AL.
- What refrigerant does the Bryant 225SAN024**AA use?
