Seasonal Energy-Efficiency Ratio

The SEER is simply a ratio of how many BTUs
per hour youre getting out of the system
relative to the watts of electrical energy
consumed to run the unit.

SEER ratings of 6 are typical for old air

conditioners. New air conditioners are typically
around 10, and high-efficiency air
conditioners are typically about 14.
