There are many reasons to consider upgrading your current air conditioning equipment with a 16 to even 20+ seer system, but what does SEER even mean? SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. To put it in simple terms, the higher your systems SEER rating, the more efficient your air conditioner will be, saving you money on your electric bill.
Here are 5 reasons you should consider a high efficiency system:
1) Monthly Savings on your Power Bill
According to Alabama Power, the average power bill for residents of Alabama is $154.30. With a higher SEER system, under most circumstances, you could see that same bill drop below $100.
2) Stable Comfortability
Higher SEER units have a tendancy of running more or less non-stop, and that is not a bad thing. A normal system has 2 modes…on or off. A high SEER inverter can throttle itself down to around 10% of its potential. With that said, a unit that is consistently running will keep a home consistently cooled and dehumidified.
3) Longer Life Expectancy
High SEER systems are built stronger than a standard contractor-grade unit. They are built to last and typically have warranties to back them. On our highest package, we are able to offer a lifetime warranty on the systems compressor along with a 10 year warranty on the rest of the system.
4) Saving the Environment
Switching to a high efficiency will save power and therefore limit the amount of greenhouse gasses produced by your heating and cooling equipment.
