What is the SEER2 rating of the Bryant 284ANV036*0**B?

The Bryant 284ANV036*0**B is rated at up to 19.0 SEER2 and 11.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.5 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 8 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 18.0-19.0.

Is the Bryant 284ANV036*0**B good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 26,800 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.88, so it is still 1.9 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Bryant 284ANV036*0**B cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $818-$2,321 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,027 in Phoenix and $1,953 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 Bryant 284ANV036*0**B?

ENERGY STAR lists 8 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use CAP**4821AL*+UI, CAP**6121AL*+UI, CAP**4221AL*+UI.

What refrigerant does the Bryant 284ANV036*0**B 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.
