When you play board games with your friends or enjoy a fun “poker night” with your buddies, you always have a way to keep score. Someone’s got to be the player with the most chips at the end, or the winner with the most points. People are naturally competitive, and we like to keep score so we know who is winning and by how much. It’s totally normal!
Well, for our competitive homeowners out there, the SEER2 rating is how you can compete in the HVAC world. This is a rating that represents how efficient your air conditioner or heat pump is, and it’s going to be an important metric if you’re trying to get the best system possible for your home.
Not every high SEER2 system is right for you, but you’ll want to match the best-priced system with the best SEER2 rating you can to get the best of both worlds! Follow along to learn more about HVAC in Sarasota, FL so you can make the right SEER2 choice.
What Does SEER2 Mean?
In order to follow baseball closely, you’ll need to know the batting average of a player and how important their field position is. Someone in left field with a .190 batting average is not someone you’ll want to focus on if you’re rooting for the home team.
Well, SEER2 is our version of a batting average. To be specific, SEER means seasonal energy efficiency ratio, and It’s a score that denotes how efficient an air conditioner is when it runs during an average season and cools space. Two central air conditioners can look the same and run the same, but one with a higher SEER2 rating has some component difference that allows it to cool the same space by using less energy overall. So, if you’re looking for a winning team to root for, root for the team with the high SEER2 rating!
Matching the SEER2 Rating With Price
So, why doesn’t everyone just purchase an air conditioner with the highest SEER2 rating and call it a day? For the same reason a baseball team doesn’t hire all the players with the highest batting averages–they’re expensive. Any good strategist knows that you need to compare the price of what you’re paying for to the expected outcome.
An air conditioner or heat pump with a SEER2 rating of 21 is going to be outstanding when it comes to efficiency. You’ll save tons of money on your energy bill regularly. But these systems are some of the most expensive on the market, and without a serious amount of cash (or financing options like the ones we provide) you’ll be unable to get started with it.
Work with our team to find a product that both fits your budget while also having a high SEER2 rating. Finding the right system is tricky, but as long as you’re working with a trustworthy team of technicians, it’s very doable.
