What is the new 13 SEER standard about?

0

Air conditioners manufactured after 1/23/06 must meet a minimum efficiency of 13 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio). What that means is that manufacturers will no longer be able to make the entry level 10 SEER equipment that was so commonly sold. Existing 10 SEER equipment can still be bought and sold. However, most manufacturers have done their best to get rid of their existing 10 SEER supply. Furthermore, some building departments are more strict and will insist that only 13 SEER equipment be installed even if a 10 SEER unit was legally acquired.
