Questions5
What is the SEER2 rating of the MRCOOL MVP-24-HP-C-230A00-O?
The MRCOOL MVP-24-HP-C-230A00-O is rated at up to 18.1 SEER2 and 11.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.7 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 51 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 15.8-18.1.
Is the MRCOOL MVP-24-HP-C-230A00-O good for cold climates?
Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 21,600 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.90, so it is still 1.9 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
How much does the MRCOOL MVP-24-HP-C-230A00-O cost to run per year?
At its rated efficiency it costs about $623-$1,635 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $763 in Phoenix and $1,363 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 MRCOOL MVP-24-HP-C-230A00-O?
ENERGY STAR lists 51 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use MVP-24-HP-MUAH-230A00-O, MCMP1824BOTB, **AECMPT24B2AA.
What refrigerant does the MRCOOL MVP-24-HP-C-230A00-O 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.
