Questions
- 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.
