      A good fit if…

      • You want low cooling bills - its SEER2 beats 85% of central heat pumps.
      • Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 30,000 BTU/h at 5°F.
      • 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…

      • Nothing stands out - its ratings have no weak spot for its class.

      Questions5
      What is the SEER2 rating of the Haier 1U36T3PC*HE?
      The Haier 1U36T3PC*HE is rated at up to 19.0 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 177 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 15.2-19.0.
      Is the Haier 1U36T3PC*HE good for cold climates?
      Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 30,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.95, so it is still 2.0 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
      How much does the Haier 1U36T3PC*HE cost to run per year?
      At its rated efficiency it costs about $847-$2,347 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,056 in Phoenix and $1,969 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 Haier 1U36T3PC*HE?
      ENERGY STAR lists 177 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use NAM42V2TA5, NCHC30AT5****+TDR, NAM36V2TA5.
      What refrigerant does the Haier 1U36T3PC*HE use?
      It uses R-454B.

      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.
