What it does, in numbers
$31.06
Cooling, all summer
Less than a 60 W light bulb
Bulbs left on day and night for a year. Cooling: 5 h a day for 40 days, the assumption used by Hydro-Québec's air-conditioning calculator. Same calculation for every line: wattage × hours × 11.142 ¢/kWh.
≈$173
Heating, all winter
≈ $13 less than baseboard heaters
Typical 234 sq ft room with one exterior wall, in Montréal: 1,671 kWh of heat per winter (Environment Canada 1991–2020 climate normals). The heat pump is counted only at 8 °C and warmer, where Gree rates its output; below that, the heater, at the price of a baseboard. If it keeps heating in colder weather, the bill goes down.
≈ $204 for the year, before tax. Winter is 85% of it. If your home stays in the first tier of Rate D in summer (7.065 ¢/kWh), cooling drops to $19.70.
Capacities and currents: Gree PTAC II ETAC2 service manual (R-410A). Power draw: 1,394 W in cooling (14,500 BTU/h ÷ EER 10.4), 1,255 W in heat-pump mode, 5,000 W on the 5 kW heater. Hydro-Québec Rate D in effect since April 1, 2026: 11.142 ¢/kWh second tier, before tax.
What you should know about this one
Published, verifiable facts, not brochure claims.
14,500What it really delivers in cooling
The name says 15,000 BTU: that's the unit's size class. Gree publishes 14,500 BTU/h at 230 V, and 14,200 at 208 V, the supply in many buildings. Better to read it here than on the spec sheet after installation.
5,000 WThe heater that takes over
Gree publishes a heater of up to 5.0 kW for this model: 5,000 W at 230 V, 4,089 W at 208 V. The size installed follows the power cord (NEMA 6-15P, 6-20P, 6-30P). It heats when the heat pump can no longer keep up.
3.1The COP published at 8 °C
Gree publishes a heat-pump COP of 3.1: 13,300 BTU/h of heat at 230 V. Each kWh you pay for gives back 3.1 in heat, against 1 for the heater or a baseboard.
51 dBThe noise at low speed
51 dB(A) at low speed, 54 at high speed, as published by Gree. In a bedroom, that's the number that decides the complaints: the unit runs at night, two metres from the bed.
3.17Pints of water it removes per hour
The dehumidification Gree publishes in cooling mode: 3.17 pints per hour. It's what keeps a room comfortable in summer without it turning clammy.
6-30PThe outlet it needs
With the 5.0 kW heater: a NEMA 6-30P plug on a dedicated 30 A circuit. With 3.5 kW: 6-20P on 20 A. With 2.5 kW: 6-15P on 15 A. In a replacement, the outlet already in the wall dictates the heater size.
What it needs on site
In a replacement, we check the outlet and the breaker first: they set the heater size you can use. Our estimator confirms the sleeve, the outlet and the slope before ordering.
