What it asks for

A listing, not a set of numbers: the model must carry ENERGY STAR’s cold-climate designation.

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: U.S. EPA
