What does SEER stand for?

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio and is used to measure the overall efficiency of an air conditioning system.

  • Choosing a higher efficiency will increase the cost of your project, but will save you more on energy bills and may qualify you for a tax credit or a utility company rebate.
  • Choosing a lower efficiency will reduce the cost of your project, but will save you less on energy bills.
  • We recommend High efficiency (14.5 to 16 SEER), since in our opinion it provides a good trade-off between costs and savings, but the decision is yours.
  • The following estimates* for an average U.S. home may also help you decide:

High: 14.5 to 16 SEER 13% $495
