This stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. The size of an air conditioner is rated in Tons, however the efficiency is rated in SEER. It’s like mpg (miles per gallon) in a car – the higher the mpg (or SEER) the lower the gasoline (electricity) bill.

The seasonal energy efficiency ratio is the amount of cooling that a heat pump (or air conditioner) delivers per every dollar spent on electricity. In other words, a higher SEER unit uses less electricity. A 12 SEER unit uses the electricity of an old 6 SEER unit. After January 1, 1992, the minimum SEER allowed in our industry for residential equipment is 10.
