3-ton central heat pump · G Series
TOSOT TUD36-36W2/NHG-D(U)
Very good cooling efficiency and below average heating efficiency for a 3-ton central heat pump, but not rated for cold climates.
Ranks #75 of 302 3 ton central heat pumps for cooling efficiency, and costs about $1,023 a year to run in a mixed climate like Atlanta.

A good fit if…
- You want low cooling bills - its SEER2 beats 77% of central heat pumps.
- You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.
Think twice if…
- You often see nights below 0°F - it is not cold-climate certified.
- You mainly need heat - its HSPF2 is below average for central heat pumps.

Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the TOSOT TUD36-36W2/NHG-D(U)?
- The TOSOT TUD36-36W2/NHG-D(U) is rated at up to 18.5 SEER2 and 11.2 EER2 for cooling and up to 8.5 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 2 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 16.0-18.5.
- Is the TOSOT TUD36-36W2/NHG-D(U) good for cold climates?
- It is not cold-climate certified: none of its matchups meet the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria (a COP of at least 1.75 at 5°F among other limits). In places with frequent sub-zero nights, pick a cold-climate 3-ton model.
- How much does the TOSOT TUD36-36W2/NHG-D(U) cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $866-$2,485 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,091 in Phoenix and $2,094 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
- Is the TOSOT TUD36-36W2/NHG-D(U) the same as the GREE GUD36W2/NHG-D(U)?
- Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists 5 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 TUD36-36W2/NHG-D(U)?
- ENERGY STAR lists 2 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use TUD36AH2/NHG-D(U), TCAC24F/NHA.
- What refrigerant does the TOSOT TUD36-36W2/NHG-D(U) use?
