Q: What's a good SEER2 rating for your gas/electric packaged system?

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio ( SEER2 ) measures how efficiently the air conditioner portion of your gas/electric packaged HVAC system is cooling your home. The higher the SEER2 rating , the more efficient the air conditioner is at cooling. While the Department of Energy has set SEER2 minimums that went into effect on Jan. 1, 2023, the best system investment for you depends on factors like geographic location and system size.

How much can you save?

Upgrading your system to a higher SEER rating can help you save on your monthly energy costs. Lower energy usage can also help protect the environment for future generations.

*The majority of systems installed prior to 2006 are 10 SEER or lower. For this example, the air conditioner has a SEER rating of up to 20 SEER. Potential energy savings may vary depending on your lifestyle, system settings, equipment maintenance, local climate, home construction and installation of equipment and duct system.
