What is the SEER2 rating of the Innovair MHD-24?

The Innovair MHD-24 is rated at up to 15.2 SEER2 and 11.7 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.8 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.

Is the Innovair MHD-24 good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 23,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.08, so it is still 2.1 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Innovair MHD-24 cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $665-$1,646 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $838 in Phoenix and $1,349 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 Innovair MHD-24?

ENERGY STAR lists 2 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses MHD-CC2.0-17.5-M.

What refrigerant does the Innovair MHD-24 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.

2-ton central heat pump · MHD series

Innovair MHD-24

Below average cooling efficiency and very good heating efficiency for a 2-ton central heat pump, and certified for cold climates.

Ranks #311 of 331 2 ton central heat pumps for cooling efficiency, and costs about $713 a year to run in a mixed climate like Atlanta.

A good fit if…

Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 23,000 BTU/h at 5°F.
It will heat most of the year - its HSPF2 beats 79% of central heat pumps.
You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.

Think twice if…

Cooling cost matters most - its SEER2 is below average for central heat pumps.
You want the newest refrigerant - it uses R-410A, which is being phased down.
