| What is SEER ?
The SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating measures an air conditioner's cooling efficiency over a season. The main differences between a 16 SEER and a 13 SEER unit are:
1. Efficiency: A 16 SEER unit is more efficient than a 13 SEER unit. This means it uses less energy to provide the same amount of cooling, leading to lower energy bills. 2. Cost: Higher SEER units typically cost more upfront, but the increased efficiency can lead to savings over time. 3. Environmental Impact: More efficient units often have a smaller carbon footprint due to reduced energy consumption. 4. Comfort: Higher SEER units may offer better temperature control and humidity management, contributing to improved comfort.
Choosing between the two often depends on your budget, energy savings goals, and long-term plans.
