Heating capacity as it gets colder
A heat pump's output falls as outdoor temperature drops. This is the certified heat output of the Daikin DH7VSA2410A* at the three ENERGY STAR test temperatures (cooling capacity is 23,200 BTU/h for reference).
Retention at 17°F: 68% · at 5°F: 73%. Learn how to use these numbers in our cold-climate guide.

Same equipment sold under other brands
These listings share the same certifying manufacturer (Daikin Comfort Technologies Manufacturing, L.P.) and identical certified capacities and efficiency ratings, so they are almost certainly the same hardware with a different badge. If you get quotes for any of them, you are comparing installation price and warranty, not equipment. How rebadging works.
