“SEER” is the acronym for the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. This ratio compares the amount of cooling that a heat pump or air conditioner generates per every dollar spent on electricity. A higher SEER unit will use less electricity, and save you more money. The minimum SEER permitted by Federal regulation for residential equipment is 13 as of January 2006.
