January 23, 2006 began a new era in air conditioning home comfort systems. The SEER minimum standard for newly manufactured air conditioners and heat pumps increased
from 10 SEER to 13 SEER by federal law.

SEER is short for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It is a number similar
to miles per gallon in cars. The higher the SEER rating the more efficient your air conditioning system. A 13 SEER is about 30% more efficient than a 10 SEER system.
