What effect will the new 13 SEER standard have?
When compared to the previous minimum of 10 SEER, the most obvious effect is an increase in price. Our industry has already faced a considerable increase in costs due to the worldwide demand for metal. 13 SEER equipment uses a lot more copper than lower efficiency models. Second, system mismatches will become increasingly problematic. I mentioned above that you can put a new AC on an old evaporator coil but that it’s not ideal. In some cases that which was once not ideal with a new 10 SEER AC will become a nightmare with a 13 SEER AC. You might need to change the metering device and/or the whole evaporator coil in order for a 13 SEER system to work right. Equipment manufacturers are insistent that the evaporator coil be replaced when installing a new air conditioner or heat pump.
