A good fit if…

  • You want low cooling bills - its SEER2 beats 90% of central heat pumps.
  • Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 24,000 BTU/h at 5°F.
  • It will heat most of the year - its HSPF2 beats 96% of central heat pumps.
  • You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.

Think twice if…

  • You want the newest refrigerant - it uses R-410A, which is being phased down.

Questions5
What is the SEER2 rating of the MDV MOD30-24HFN1-MW?
The MDV MOD30-24HFN1-MW is rated at up to 19.4 SEER2 and 13.1 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.5 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 17 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 16.1-19.4.
Is the MDV MOD30-24HFN1-MW good for cold climates?
Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 24,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.00, so it is still 2.0 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
How much does the MDV MOD30-24HFN1-MW cost to run per year?
At its rated efficiency it costs about $581-$1,514 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $710 in Phoenix and $1,260 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 MDV MOD30-24HFN1-MW?
ENERGY STAR lists 17 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use MVC-18HWFN1-M, MVBL-24HWFN1-MI3, MVC-30HWFN1-M.
What refrigerant does the MDV MOD30-24HFN1-MW 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.

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.
