What is SEER?

Much like MPG measures your car's fuel efficiency, Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is a measurement of the energy efficiency of your HVAC system. SEER is the BTU of cooling output during a typical cooling season divided by the total electric energy input watts-hours during the same period. The higher the SEER rating of a unit, the more energy efficient it is. The current minimum standard set by the federal government is 13 SEER.
