FAQ

SEER vs SEER2? +
SEER2 (2023+) uses higher static pressure testing — typically 5% lower than old SEER for the same unit. Same physical efficiency.
Worth upgrading SEER 13 to 18? +
In hot climates (1500+ cooling hours), yes — payback in 5-7 years. In mild climates, take longer than equipment life.
