What Is SEER & Does It Matter?
When choosing the right energy-efficient air conditioner for your home and budget, the most important factor to look at is each unit’s SEER rating. SEER = Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. It measures the efficiency of heating and cooling equipment. For air conditioners, SEER is determined by dividing a typical cooling-season’s cooling output by the total energy input during the same period. The higher a unit’s SEER rating the more energy efficient it is—which is why you should be looking to install an air conditioner with a high SEER rating in your Madison County home.
Choosing an Efficient AC System
At Ernst Heating & Cooling, we make it our mission to provide homeowners with some of the best HVAC products that money can buy—that’s why we install Lennox air conditioners!
