How Midea Performs in Woodford's Climate

Very GoodClimate Zone 6 | R290 refrigerant

Midea's R290 refrigerant is well-suited to climate zone 6. Propane (R290) holds its output in cooler conditions better than R134a does, making Midea a strong choice for regional locations like this. Winter mornings below 5 degrees will reduce efficiency slightly, but the system recovers quickly as temperatures rise.
