SEER2: Save Even More on Utilities by Upgrading to a Higher-Efficiency Air Conditioner
By upgrading to a higher-efficiency air conditioner, you can experience significant monthly savings on your energy bills. Air conditioning units are rated based on their efficiency, measured by the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER2) value. Choosing a system with a higher SEE2R value means greater energy efficiency.
Compared to older AC systems, which typically have SEER2 values ranging from 8 to 12, newer units boast SEER2 values of 14 to 25. These newer models are much more cost-effective to operate. To estimate the potential savings from upgrading your current AC system to a more efficient one, utilize the estimator tool provided below.
