Decoding SEER Ratings for Optimal Cooling Efficiency

At Colman Heating & Air, we believe in educating our customers about the technical aspects of their HVAC systems. Today, we’re diving into the world of SEER ratings and why they matter for air conditioning efficiency in the greater Titusville area.

What is SEER?

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It’s a measure of an air conditioner’s cooling output divided by its energy consumption over a typical cooling season. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the unit.

Why SEER Matters

1. Energy Savings: Higher SEER ratings translate to lower energy bills.
2. Environmental Impact: More efficient units reduce your carbon footprint.
3. Comfort: Efficient systems often provide more consistent cooling.

SEER Ratings in Florida

In our warm Titusville climate, the minimum SEER rating for new AC installations is 14. However, many homeowners opt for higher ratings to maximize efficiency.

Choosing the Right SEER Rating

When selecting a new air conditioner, consider:

– Your budget
– Long-term energy savings
– The size of your home
– Your cooling needs

At Colman Heating & Air, we can help you navigate these factors to find the perfect balance of efficiency and performance for your home.
