SKM AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT heat pump efficiency: 3 outdoor models compared

SKM AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT has 3 heat pump outdoor models certified with this refrigerant group, in 3 AHRI-certified combinations. Each model is compared with models of the same size and duct type, so the scores below do not depend on which sizes SKM AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT makes. SKM AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT has no QMID (IRS Qualified Manufacturer ID) on file, so it is not ranked against other manufacturers.

Top SKM AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT models

Its top five cold-climate picks and its top five all-around models across sizes (both scores compare each model with models of its own size and duct type, so sizes compare), then, on each single rating, the model that beats the largest share of comparable models.

Cold-climate picks

Top 1 SKM AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT cold-climate picks across sizes. Qualifies when its capacity retention at 5°F (capacity at 5°F as a share of capacity at 47°F) is at least 70% and Capacity retention at 5°F, COP at 5°F, HSPF2 are all rated. Score = the equal-weight mean of its peer percentiles on Capacity retention at 5°F, COP at 5°F, HSPF2 (share of the other models in its peer group it beats, 0–100), all from one certified pairing: in each duct type a model is sold in, its qualifying pairing of that type with the best score; equal scores (one decimal) go to the higher heating capacity at 5°F.

All-around best

Top 3 SKM AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT models on the all-around score across sizes. Score = 50% heating, the mean of its peer percentiles on COP at 5°F, Capacity retention at 5°F, HSPF2, plus 50% cooling, the mean of its peer percentiles on SEER2 and EER2 (share of the other models in its peer group it beats, 0–100). All five ratings are required; there is no minimum heat kept at 5°F. In each duct type a model is sold in, it is scored on its pairing of that type with the best score; equal scores (one decimal) go to the higher cold-climate score, then the higher heating capacity at 5°F.

SKM AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT size class by size class: cold-climate and all-around

Its best model on each board in every size and duct type it makes. Both scores are 0–100 against every model of that size class (the line on each bar is 50, the typical model there). Cold-climate picks must keep at least 70% of their heat at 5°F; the all-around score needs all five ratings and has no such bar.
