SEER Ratings: A Key Factor in HVAC Efficiency

At All-A-Round A/C, Heating & Refrigeration, we believe in educating our customers about the technical aspects of their heating and cooling systems. Today, we’re diving into the world of SEER ratings and why they matter for your home’s energy efficiency.

What is SEER?

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It’s a measure of an air conditioning system’s cooling output over a typical cooling season, divided by the energy it consumes in Watt-Hours. Simply put, the higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the system.

Why SEER Ratings Matter

1. Energy Savings: Higher SEER ratings translate to lower energy bills.
2. Environmental Impact: More efficient systems reduce your carbon footprint.
3. Comfort: Advanced systems with higher SEER ratings often provide better temperature control.

SEER Ratings in Modern HVAC Systems

Today’s HVAC systems can achieve SEER ratings of up to 26, but the minimum standard for new installations is 13 SEER in northern states and 14 SEER in southern states. When choosing a new system, consider:

• Your climate
• Home size
• Budget
• Long-term energy savings

At All-A-Round A/C, Heating & Refrigeration, we’re committed to helping you find the perfect balance of efficiency and performance for your home’s heating and cooling needs. Contact us today to learn more about how SEER ratings can impact your comfort and energy bills.
