What is SEER?
SEER is an acronym for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. You will hear the term SEER rating when purchasing a new air conditioning system. It is extremely critical to understand and appreciate how SEER works because it is the basis for how efficient your air conditioner runs.
Essentially, the higher the SEER rating on your air conditioner, the more efficient it will be. SEERs start at 13 and go as high as 21. The higher the SEER the less energy your air conditioner will use.
Your initial cost of equipment for a higher SEER machine might be high, but your electric bills will be less and over time the savings will offset the high price.
We now offer a 10 year parts warranty on Concord and Armstrong air conditioners.
This is just a small comparison of the air conditioners that we have available. Contact Us for more information on air conditioners you don't see here.
