Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the DELLA 048-TLP-MODU-1D4?
- The DELLA 048-TLP-MODU-1D4 is rated at up to 20.5 SEER2 and 11.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.5 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.
- Is the DELLA 048-TLP-MODU-1D4 good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 25,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.80, so it is still 1.8 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
- How much does the DELLA 048-TLP-MODU-1D4 cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $780-$2,101 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $963 in Phoenix and $1,757 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
- Is the DELLA 048-TLP-MODU-1D4 the same as the COSTWAY FP11135US?
- 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.
- What refrigerant does the DELLA 048-TLP-MODU-1D4 use?
- It uses R-454B.
