The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio is rating system designed to show you, numerically, the efficiency of the unit over period of time.
the capacities of heat pumps and their technologies make 16 to SEER models low end. 18 to SEER is considered great, and, of course, 21 SEER and higher is excellent..
The tonnage will correlate to the size of the home or room you are using the heat pump to heat and cool.
Evolution series is the most advanced series from Bryant, followed by Preferred series finally the budget-friendly, entry-level Legacy series..
Evolution series offers SEER ratings, best HSPF ratio, and is the lineup to offer variable speed compressors.
The only difference between 286B and 286BNC is that NC model is treated to prevent corrosion when installed near the coast.
The 225B model is the more of the group with compressor and up to SEER rating.
The 226C is also efficient, with 17 SEER and 9.5 HSPF ratings it's comparable to the lower end of Evolution series.
The 215B model is the efficient of the group reach up to SEER, making it viable for install in any region.
While installer will set you back couple of thousand dollars, the level of expertise and efficiency gains will pay that back in few years, making your system even more efficient and in the long run.
