• What does the terms "SEER & EER" mean?


The most common measure of the efficiency of a consumer central air conditioning system is the SEER (Seasonal efficiency efficiency ratio). An air conditioner must have a SEER of at least 10 to be sold in the United

States. Higher efficiency models have a SEER between 13 and 19. A more common rating method for commercial air conditioners is the EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio). EER is a measure of the ratio of the amount of cooling (measured in BTU's) to the amount of electricity it consumes (measured in watt-hours). The EER is a steady state measure - that is, the efficiency is only measured once the unit has started up and is running at a steady capacity. SEER takes into account the startup and shutdown time as well, making it a more accurate measurement for determining the actual energy costs for the end user.

 

Q: Why should I replace my existing heating or air conditioning system?

A: You may wish to consider replacing your air conditioning or heating system if it is old, inefficient or in need of repair. Newer systems are as much more efficient than systems manufactured as little as ten years ago. In addition, if not properly maintained, wear and tear on a system can reduce the actual or realized efficiency of the system. If you are concerned about utility bills or are faced with an expensive repair, you may want to consider replacing your system rather than enduring another costly season or paying to replace an expensive part.



Q: How much do air conditioning and heat pump systems cost?

A: Many factors affect the cost of a heating or air conditioning system, including the size of your home, the type and condition of the ductwork installed and accessories you might need such as a thermostat or an electronic air cleaner. We have a wide range of systems available to meet all your needs and your budget.


Q: How do I select the right heating/cooling system?

A: First, we need to make sure the unit is properly sized for your home. Comfort issues in the home are also taken into consideration. . Some products can reduce uneven temperatures from room to room. Some models can help improve allergies. Your budget is also a necessary consideration. Most systems will pay for themselves with the energy savings that can be realized by upgrading your unit to a more efficient model.
