What is a SEER Rating?

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. It is a system that allows people shopping for new central air conditioners to be able to compare the operating costs and energy needs of a new unit. SEER ratings are determined by the ratio of cooling power per unit of electricity needed to accomplish it. SEER scores range from 13 to 25. The higher the number the more efficient the system and the lower energy costs will be. However, better technology means a higher initial cost. The technicians at Star Air Conditioning & Heating can help you select the right system to fit your goals and your budget.
