A red underline marks the highest value of the units shown, as a fact, not a verdict. Ratings are each product's best certified match, as listed. Installed performance depends on the indoor unit and the installation. Source: EPA ENERGY STAR certified heat pump data, certified as of 2026-10-27. The finder filters ratings only; it does not size equipment.

How to use it

Start typing in any of the three boxes; the list matches model numbers with or without their wildcard characters (*, -[X]) and brand names. Pick a unit with the arrow keys and Enter. The page address keeps the selection, so it can be shared.

What the numbers mean

Place in class counts how many rated products of the same size class list a higher value; products with the same value share a joint place. Kept at 5°F is listed 5°F capacity divided by listed 47°F capacity in the same match. How the ratings are read
