What is a Good SEER Rating for an AC Unit [Video]

Homeowners have options when it comes to air conditioner efficiency. More efficient air conditioners can save you a good deal of money. It’s all about the SEER rating. Watch this video to learn more.

The more efficient your air conditioner is, the more money you’ll save on energy bills. Air conditioner efficiency is measured by its SEER rating. SEER stands for Season Energy Efficiency Ratio. So, when shopping for a new air conditioner the SEER rating is very important. Here’s why. Think about a SEER rating like the gas mileage you get in your car. The higher the miles per gallon the more efficient your car is, right? Well, the higher the SEER rating on an air conditioner the more efficient it is to operate. You can see over time the savings really add up. These numbers are based on a national average. Here’s something cool about a SEER rating. It allows you to compare one A/C to another, because a SEER rating of 21 on one brand is the same as a SEER rating of 21 on all other brands. If you would like more information about SEER ratings and which SEER is right for you, how to make sure your A/C is installed correctly to maximize efficiency, and how to save money on your air conditioning bills, give ABC Plumbing, Sewer, Heating, Cooling and Electric a call. We’ll be happy to help you out.
