What You Need to Know About SEER

The terms you encounter when shopping for a new A/C system can be confusing. Like SEER, or seasonal energy efficiency ratio. This is a measure of an air conditioning system’s efficiency over an entire cooling season. The higher the SEER number, the greater the efficiency—and therefore the energy savings. Today, U.S. regulatory agencies require all new products to have a 13.0 SEER rating or better. As Westinghouse heating and air experts, we can help you choose the right A/C system to optimize your home comfort and energy savings. Call us for more information today.
