Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio
Are you looking to
improve the efficiency of your home’s heating and cooling system? If so, then
one of the most important factors to consider is a SEER rating. A SEER
(Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating measures how efficiently an air
conditioning or heat pump system operates during a typical cooling season. It
is calculated by dividing the total amount of energy used over that period by
its corresponding output in British Thermal Units (BTUs). The higher the
number, the more efficient your unit will be at using energy for climate
control purposes.
The importance of
having a high SEER rating cannot be understated when it comes to saving money
on electricity bills as well as improving indoor air quality through better
filtration and humidity control. A unit with an 14-SEER or higher can reduce
energy costs up to 40% compared with older models which have ratings below
10-SEERS! Additionally, newer units are equipped with advanced features such as
variable speed compressors that help maintain comfortable temperatures while
minimizing noise levels inside your home – something old units simply couldn't
do!
In addition to all
these benefits, upgrading from an older model HVAC system also helps protect
our environment since it reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with
inefficient use of electricity generated from burning fossil fuels like coal
and natural gas. So if you're thinking about replacing your current HVAC unit
soon - make sure you check out what kind of SEER ratings they offer before
making any decisions! Call Abaco Air Experts today at 904-268-3800
