Understanding SEER Ratings & Choosing the Right AC Unit for Your Home
When it comes to upgrading or installing a new air conditioning system, understanding SEER ratings can make a big difference in your comfort and energy bills. As a Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Dealer, we specialize in helping homeowners choose the right AC system—whether ductless or ducted—that fits their needs and budget.
What is a SEER Rating?
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and it measures the cooling efficiency of an air conditioning system over an entire cooling season. The higher the SEER rating, the more energy-efficient the system is. For example, a unit with a SEER of 20 will use less energy to cool your home than one with a SEER of 13, which is the minimum required for most systems in the northeastern U.S.
While a higher SEER rating generally means better efficiency and lower utility costs, it’s important to find the right balance between upfront investment and long-term savings. That’s where our team comes in.
Choosing the Right AC System
We’re proud to offer some of the most advanced and efficient Mitsubishi Electric ductless systems available. They are ideal for homes without existing ductwork, with room additions or in spaces where you want precise climate control. Many Mitsubishi Electric ductless systems offer SEER ratings above 20, delivering exceptional comfort and efficiency.
For homes with existing ductwork, we also install high-performance central air conditioning systems. We’ll evaluate your home’s size, layout and insulation as well as your personal comfort preferences to recommend a properly sized unit with a SEER rating that makes sense for your lifestyle and climate zone.
