SEER and AC ratings

Eight years ago, my spouse plus I purchased a brand modern Heating plus Air Conditioning unit.

  • It was while I was in a Summer heat wave when the systems stopped toiling.

We were entirely happy at the time, because the two of us purchased the most energy efficient component that our currency could buy. We purchased an energy-efficient Heating plus Air Conditioning system that was rated with a 14 SEER. The SEER rating is an energy efficiency rating that tells whether or not a component will take a lot of electricity to run. At the time the two of us purchased the 14 SEER system, it was state-of-the-art. We paid more than our neighbors, plus the two of us even got a free whole-house air purifier with the purchase. At the time of replacement, the two of us could choose between a free whole-house air purifier or a free digital temperature control. We did not end up with any free stuff this time around, however the two of us did acquire a rebate from the electric company. My spouse plus I found out that a 14 SEER rated system is not the most energy efficient component on the market. This time around, the two of us looked through our chances plus purchased an 18 SEER rated Heating plus Air Conditioning unit. We had the modern device installed more than two months ago, plus I can already tell there is a large difference between the energy efficiency rating. The modern component doesn’t run as frequently as the old one, plus the two of us are spending less currency on our energy costs. Our old weekly utility expenses were around $300. Last month, our total bill was only $225. If the two of us continue to save a heap of currency every month, the modern Heating plus Air Conditioning device will pay for itself. It would be great if this system lasts longer than 8 years.
