Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio

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
