My last mind bender is how they rate the Btu / COP output.

Could be its measured Btu output done at room temperature or 44*f
It seems mini split manufactures use around a 7*c / 44*f outdoor temp to rate the COP values.

Possibly to get the fixed COP value they factor in the infiltrated air

I can't find info on how Honeywell or anyone Rates these units to a Btu output


Could be the Btu value is a factored value taking into account the outdoor 7*c / 44*f infiltrated air temp

Or its rated Btu output is for the indoor temps they are expected to be in.

Its low priced so it may pull off a COP of 2.7 maximum at room temp.

That also makes sense as its half the costs of the cheaper of the mini splits

The model is Honeywell HL14CHESWW

Its 14000 BTU cool output and 11000 Btu heating output suggests to me they have done factoring into its rating or it might just be the condenser size that changes the values between heat and cool.
I dunno
