Ranked by COP at 5°F only: non-ducted systems, by size

Heating efficiency at 5°F outdoor temperature: units of heat delivered per unit of electricity. This board ranks by that one rating; it is not the overall cold-climate verdict, which is the cold-climate board. Inside one size and duct type the raw ratings are comparable, so these boards rank by the rating itself, more than one model per manufacturer when they earn it. Only manufacturers with a QMID (IRS Qualified Manufacturer ID) on file are ranked.

Non-ducted, up to 1.5 tons: ranked by COP at 5°F only

Non-ducted, up to 1.5 tons: ranked by COP at 5°F. Every model here is the same size and duct type, so the raw values are comparable. Ties go to the lower AHRI reference number; every number in a row is from that row’s certification.
