      A good fit if…

      • You want low cooling bills - its SEER2 beats 94% of central heat pumps.
      • It will heat most of the year - its HSPF2 beats 70% of central heat pumps.
      • You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.

      Think twice if…

      • You often see nights below 0°F - it is not cold-climate certified.

      Questions5
      What is the SEER2 rating of the GREE FXE60HP230V1R32AO?
      The GREE FXE60HP230V1R32AO is rated at up to 20.0 SEER2 and 11.7 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 2 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 19.0-20.0.
      Is the GREE FXE60HP230V1R32AO 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 4-ton model.
      How much does the GREE FXE60HP230V1R32AO cost to run per year?
      At its rated efficiency it costs about $1,271-$3,553 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,588 in Phoenix and $2,984 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 GREE FXE60HP230V1R32AO?
      ENERGY STAR lists 2 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use FXE48HP230V1R32AH, FXE60HP230V1R32AH.
      What refrigerant does the GREE FXE60HP230V1R32AO use?

      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.
