What is SEER?
Yesterday, I just explained some information about HSPF.
Today, I will introduce another parameter, SEER, to you. This “SEER” may puzzle many people, too.
First, let’s see what Wiki explains SEER.
“The efficiency of air conditioners is often rated by the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) which is defined by the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute in its standard ARI 210/240, Performance Rating of Unitary Air-Conditioning and Air-Source Heat Pump Equipment.”
More confused, right?
To be simple, SEER just shows how efficient the heat pump or air conditioner is.
The higher SEER is, the more efficient the heat pump is, the less electricity it uses, but the more expensive it is. The least SEER is 10.
However, it doesn’t mean that the higher, the better. One important factor is the area in which you want to use the heat pump or air conditioner. If you use a high-SEER heat pump in a small room, it will cause energy waste, although with high efficiency.

Just choose the most suitable, not the best.
