What is
SEER and how does it save me money?
SEER
rating is the method used to describe
the efficiency of particular equipment
systems. SEER stands for "Seasonal
Energy Efficiency Ratio." Systems
typically range form 10.00 SEER to 18.00
SEER. If you have a home with a system
that is 10-15 years old, you may have a
6.0 SEER to a 10.00 SEER. At the time
when the unit was installed, 10.00 SEER
was considered "High Efficiency".
Today, with all the focus on
conservation and energy savings, the
"High Efficiency 10.00 SEER" is
obsolete.
