What are SEER ratings?
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It measures the cooling efficiency of your heat pump and air conditioning system.
Fun fact: SEER = cooling output of an A/C unit / total electric energy needed over a cooling season.
The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient it is. Note that the printed SEER rating on the product is the maximum efficiency, and not necessarily the actual efficiency. The ratings range from 13 to 22.
You will not find a SEER rating on individual heating and cooling products such as:
Most states offer rebate programs for new high efficiency HVAC equipment. It typically requires a certain score to qualify. Please check with your local utility company for more information.
Fun fact: The minimum SEER rating for southern states is 14. In northern states, it’s 13.
