What does SEER mean?
SEER rating and what it means to you SEER rating = seasonal energy efficieny ratio EER= Energy Efficieny Ratio When installing or replacing a heat pump or air conditioning system always consider a higher SEER and EER rating. It will save you thousands of dollars on operating costs. See important information below. SEER rating stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. The Higher the SEER rating the more energy efficient the system will be to operate. It is very important that you choose a system with a SEER rating of at least 13 or greater. The EER energy efficieny ratio rating is extremely important when shopping for as high efficiency air conditioning system. If you have a heat pump system and are conidering replaving it be aware of the HSPF of the heating seasonal performance factor. Be sure the HSPF is 8.5 or better. Starting January of 2006 the minimum SEER rating for all new systems being manufactured is required to be 13 seer. However it’s to your advantage to choose systems w
Season Energy Efficiency Ratio. It is a system for rating the efficiency of air conditioning equipment. SEER is calculated by dividing the cooling capacity in BTU/H, of a continuously operating air conditioner, by the electric power input, or watts, of power consumed. The higher the SEER, the less the unit should cost to operate.
