What is a SEER rating?

The SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures the efficiency of a system’s operation over an entire season plus the higher the SEER the greater the savings potential. The actual savings are based on hours of operation which vary from home to home. Mid-efficiency units with a SEER under 13 have been discontinued due to government regulations. Direct Energy sells high-efficiency 13 SEER units and above.
