Ranked by HSPF2 only, for their size and type
Seasonal heating efficiency (2023 DOE test procedure). This board ranks by that one rating; it is not the overall cold-climate verdict, which is the cold-climate board. Small units rate higher than large ones and ductless units higher than ducted ones, so this board does not rank raw numbers across sizes. Each model is ranked by the share of comparable models (same size and duct type) it beats, one model per manufacturer. Only manufacturers with a QMID (IRS Qualified Manufacturer ID) on file are ranked.

- Median and middle 50% / 80%
- Standard threshold
Rows: every model through its representative certification, each shape scaled to its own peak (the model count is printed). Dots: each leader's best certification on this rating, the one it is ranked by; an arrowhead marks a value beyond the axis.
