FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good SEER rating for a new AC?
For most homes, a SEER2 rating between 16 and 18 offers the best balance of upfront cost and long-term energy savings. The minimum federal standard in California is 14.3 SEER2 (equivalent to the old 15 SEER).
Does a higher SEER rating mean the AC cools better?
No. SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) only measures energy efficiency, not cooling power. A 3-ton 14 SEER unit and a 3-ton 20 SEER unit provide the exact same amount of cooling; the 20 SEER unit simply uses less electricity to do it.
How long is the payback period for a high SEER AC?
The payback period typically ranges from 5 to 10 years, depending on your local electricity rates and how often you run the AC. Our ROI calculator can help you estimate your specific breakeven point.
