By law, air conditioner manufacturers are required to evaluate and rate their equipment based on its energy efficiency. This rating is known as a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) in the industry. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the equipment will be.

Most new homes come with central heating and air conditioning systems that are standard builder’s models. When it’s time to replace your system, you can upgrade to a more energy-efficient one. 

High SEER models may be higher in price, but you’ll make up the difference by reducing energy bills.
