CEE Advanced: which heat pumps meet it?

CEE’s cold-climate tier: full rated capacity and a COP of at least 2.1 at 5°F. 1.4% of certified models (137, about 1 in 75) meet it.

Covers older R-410A heat pumps, no longer installed new. See models sold today · Updated

What it asks for

Advanced

  • Efficiency on a 5°F day (COP at 5°F): 2.1 or more
  • Heating power kept at 5°F (Capacity at 5°F vs 47°F): 100% or more of its 47°F output
  • Winter-long heating efficiency (HSPF2): 8.5 or more

A model counts when at least one of its certified pairings meets every line on its own. Programs can also have rules about the installer, sizing and paperwork; those are not checked here. Source: Consortium for Energy Efficiency
