Daikin RX24BXVJU

Name: Daikin RX24BXVJU
Brand: Daikin

Matched with the FTX24BXVJU indoor unit, this system is certified by ENERGY STAR but not to the cold-climate criteria and publishes 9.00 HSPF2 and 20.00 SEER2, with 9,900 BTU/h of heating at 5°F.

Heating capacity of the Daikin RX24BXVJU at three outdoor temperatures, in BTU per hour. Paired with FTX24BXVJU: 9,900 at 5°F, 15,600 at 17°F, 23,600 at 47°F.

Not cold-climate certified. Paired with FTX24BXVJU. Points are the only three heating capacities the dataset publishes for this system; the lines between them are drawn to join those points and are not measurements. ENERGY STAR Certified Heat Pumps, retrieved 2026-10-16.

What these numbers are and are not. SEER2, EER2, HSPF2 and the COP at 5°F are results from a standard rating procedure, measured at fixed temperatures and airflow in a laboratory. They are not predictions for your house, your climate or your winter. Two systems with the same HSPF2 can use different amounts of electricity in the same building, and the same system will perform differently in Boston and in Atlanta. Use the published capacity at 5°F to judge whether a system still produces heat on a cold night; use HSPF2 only to compare systems with each other.

What the published capacities say about cold weather

A heat pump moves heat from outdoor air, so the colder that air gets, the less heat there is to move. The dataset publishes capacity at three outdoor temperatures, and the shape between them is the single most useful thing on this page. For the RX24BXVJU paired with the FTX24BXVJU:

At 47°F it delivers 23,600 BTU/h.
At 17°F it delivers 15,600 BTU/h.
At 5°F it delivers 9,900 BTU/h, which is 41.9% of the 47°F figure.

ENERGY STAR does not list this system under its cold-climate criteria. It is still a certified heat pump; it simply was not certified against the program's additional low-temperature requirements. In a cold climate that makes the published 5°F capacity above, and any backup heat you plan for, the numbers to look at.

Running cost for a 24,000 BTU/h system like this one

Worked as an illustration, not a quote: a house that burned 600 therms of gas in a year through an 80% AFUE furnace needed about 48.0 million BTU of delivered heat. At $1.50 a therm that gas cost $900. Delivering the same heat with a heat pump rated at 9.00 HSPF2 takes 5,333 kWh, which at $0.18 a kWh costs $960. The two costs are equal at $0.169 a kWh.

Those four prices are not your prices, and HSPF2 is a rating-condition figure rather than a seasonal measurement for your climate. Change every input in the running-cost calculator, which shows each formula as it works.
