One of the newest updates is increase to the efficiency of air conditioners and heat pumps.
By which those efficiencies are measured, Every six years Department of Energy reviews the effects of usage, sets efficiency requirements, and manages the testing standards.1 DOE is increasing the minimum efficiencies for central air conditioners and heat pumps.
Along the way, we have created new technologies that deliver the quality and efficiency you demand, well ahead of industry trends and global initiatives.
For air conditioners, Department of Energy's new efficiency standards will vary by region, so your choice of AC units will depend on where you live.
South Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, District of Columbia, and U.S territories.
As of January 1, 2023, all new air conditioner and heat pump products sold and installed in U.S will be labeled with SEER2 cooling efficiency rating.
SEER2 efficiency rating indicates that product complies with Department of Energy testing procedures..
SEER2 is the version of SEER Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio.
Much like miles-per-gallon for car, SEER and SEER2 offer easy way to compare efficiencies of different products the higher SEER or SEER2, the efficient the unit.
Once conditioner or heat pump is installed, SEER2 rating should be easy to locate it will be displayed on the bright yellow EnergyGuide label on the unit...
