Does a higher SEER mean cost-saving energy efficiency?
“For many homeowners, a 13 SEER air conditioner or heat pump will save money on each month’s electric bill. Exactly how much you can save will depend on the efficiency of your current system. For example, a 13 SEER product delivers about 23% energy savings compared to 10 SEER models and delivers about 8% energy savings compared to 12 SEER models. ” Actual savings will depend on the age, efficiency and condition of the unit being replaced, but if you are currently considering a new air conditioner or heat pump, it makes sense to start saving now with a 13 SEER product.
