The Benefits of High SEER Equipment

Amanda Brown • Feb 01, 2021

If you’ve ever spent time on an HVAC blog before, then we’re sure that you read the same acronyms over and over again—SEER, SEER, and more SEER. But, do you ever take a step back and ask yourself what this even means? You might even know what the acronym stands for, but in the grand scheme of things, what does it really mean to you ?

We’re here to inform you of all that today. We specialize in all the HVAC services in Dickson, TN. Just make sure that you contact us in a timely manner for what you’re looking for. We’re here to answer all the questions you might have with a smile. We’re certified professionals that care about the quality of the work we perform.

SEER: The Run Down

So, you probably already know that SEER stands for “Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio.” But what else does it signify?

Well, SEER is the ratio used to calculate the output of an air conditioner over a cooling season. We take this number and divide it by the energy used in watt-hours. The minimum SEER rating for AC systems on the market now is a rating of about 13 or 14. Understanding what a SEER rating means for you will allow you to choose the best air conditioning system for your needs. We’ll get into what it means to you below…

What It Means to You

As we said above, your home’s SEER rating can help you choose the right air conditioner for your home.

What you should know is that the higher the SEER rating, the better the efficiency in most cases. Although we stated that most new air conditioners on the market have to meet a baseline of 13 or 14, they can actually have a rating on the high side of 21 or 22. The SEER efficiency rating that you need depends on the specific needs of your home. We’re talking about the dimensions, the type of air conditioner, the ductwork, and other variables as well.

We’re going to help you narrow down the variables that matter to you. We’ve got your back with whatever you need.

What to Consider

Are you wondering what you personally should consider for your home? We’re going to help you figure it out.

Finding a great new air conditioner is more scientific than you might think. The SEER rating is the first calculation you need to think about. After you’ve gone through this, you’re going to need to come to us for a load calculation. Load calculations consider all the things we mentioned above (dimension, the type of air conditioner, ductwork, etc.) and factor them into how you’d like to choose an AC system for your home. We’re going to help you make all the right considerations to get the perfect system for your home.

Winter is actually a great time to consider your AC. It’s low stakes and you can move at your own pace because you’re not going to need your air conditioner for a while.
