What is the SEER2 rating of the EVCON RHP15060B21?

The EVCON RHP15060B21 is rated at up to 16.0 SEER2 and 11.7 EER2 for cooling and up to 8.1 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 38 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 15.2-16.0.

Is the EVCON RHP15060B21 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 5-ton model.

How much does the EVCON RHP15060B21 cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $1,616-$4,389 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $2,002 in Phoenix and $3,674 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 EVCON RHP15060B21?

ENERGY STAR lists 38 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use JHETD60JBCS2N1, JHETD60HBCS2N1, JHVTD60JBCC2N1.

What refrigerant does the EVCON RHP15060B21 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…

You want a choice of indoor units - 38 certified pairings.

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.
