Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the TOSOT TUD36-24W2/NHE-D(U)?
- The TOSOT TUD36-24W2/NHE-D(U) is rated at up to 18.2 SEER2 and 11.2 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 4 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 16.0-18.2.
- Is the TOSOT TUD36-24W2/NHE-D(U) good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 34,000 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 TOSOT TUD36-24W2/NHE-D(U) cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $825-$2,159 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,011 in Phoenix and $1,799 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
- Is the TOSOT TUD36-24W2/NHE-D(U) the same as the GREE GFU36HP230V1R32AO?
- Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists 4 model numbers with identical efficiency, capacity and matchups, which means the same outdoor unit sold under a different brand or with a minor variant code (voltage, colour or region). The full list is on this page.
- Which indoor units work with the TOSOT TUD36-24W2/NHE-D(U)?
- ENERGY STAR lists 4 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use TUD36AH2/NHG-D(U), TUD24AH2/NHG-D(U), TCAC24F/NHA.
- What refrigerant does the TOSOT TUD36-24W2/NHE-D(U) use?
- It uses R-32.
