Understanding SEER Ratings: A Guide for Homeowners

April 25, 2024

What is a SEER Rating?

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings are pivotal for home or business owners looking to maximize their HVAC systems. SEER ratings range from 13-22 depending on the HVAC unit brand. A higher SEER number denotes greater efficiency in cooling or heating, directly impacting energy use and expenses. 

Why Is It Important?

While higher SEER systems may cost more upfront, they will lean towards long-term savings on utility bills and a reduced environmental footprint. When choosing your next system, we recommend opting for a unit with an appropriate SEER rating that aligns your efficiency goals with your budget to optimize energy efficiency for your home or business.


What Difference Will It Make?

SEER ratings influence not only energy consumption but also overall home comfort. Efficient systems maintain consistent temperatures, control humidity levels, and enhance indoor air quality. Features like variable-speed compressors and smart thermostat compatibility, often found in higher SEER units, further optimize comfort and savings.


Regardless of the system you choose, it’s important to stay up to date on regular maintenance for your unit to sustain HVAC efficiency no matter the SEER rating.


Scheduled tune-ups, filter changes, and choosing Davis HVAC Experts for reliable and adequate insulation and ductwork will contribute to your systems' longevity and performance for your home or business.
