How much money could X expect to save by replacing my old air conditioner with a newer, more efficient model?
Savings are based on the size of the equipment, temperature settings, and the equipments run times. A system that is more than 20 years old should be about a 6 SEER unit. If you were to replace that unit with a 12 SEER unit then you should expect to save about half of the cooling portion of electrical bill. For smaller homes with one or two systems the cooling portion of the bill in the summer constitutes about 60%. So, on a $200.00 bill your cooling portion would be about $120.00. Therefore you could save about $60.00 for that month. Obviously this is a rule that does not apply in all situations but is a general guide. Also, higher efficiency product brochures will give examples of savings. These brochures can be requested or seen on manufacturer’s websites.
