What Are SEER Ratings?
A SEER or Seasonal Energy Efficient Ratio measures how effectively the air system cools your home in a particular season. It tells us how much cool air you get for every unit of energy used. There is a formula to calculate the SEER rating of an air conditioner. It is calculated by dividing the cooling output by the total energy input during a particular season. For example, an AC may have a total cooling output of 70,000 BTUs, and the electricity consumed by it is 4,000 watts. When applying these values to the formula, the SEER rating of the AC is 14. The higher the SEER rating, the better the efficiency of the air conditioner will be.
How SEER Ratings Impact Energy Use?
SEER ratings impact energy use in several ways, such as:
- The higher the SEER rating of an air conditioner, the more efficiently it works. This means lower electricity consumption, which leads to cost savings on your electricity bills. This is beneficial for both your wallet and the environment.
- A higher SEER rating AC unit generally comes with advanced features like variable-speed compressors, multi-stage cooling, smart thermostats, advanced air filtration, and more. These features contribute to better performance, comfort, and convenience while reducing energy wastage.
How SEER Rating Impact Costs?
The SEER rating impacts costs in several ways, such as:
- Higher rated AC units are more expensive. However, these units provide long-term benefits that outweigh the costs. They consume less electricity, saving you money on your electricity bills.
- AC units with higher SEER ratings work more efficiently than the lower SEER-rated units. Because they work more efficiently, the AC units do not need to work as hard to pump the cool air. As a result of this, it leads to lower electricity consumption, ultimately saving money on bills and reducing wear and tear on the system over time.
- Individuals buying SEER-rated AC units are eligible for rebates from the government. These rebates help individuals cover the higher costs that need to be paid upfront when purchasing a higher-rated unit.
