The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures the cooling efficiency of air conditioners and heat pumps. A higher SEER rating indicates greater efficiency, leading to reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills. Upgrading to a system with a higher SEER rating can result in significant cost savings over time.

Upgrading to a higher SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) air conditioning system can lead to significant energy and cost savings. To help you estimate these potential savings, we offer an easy-to-use SEER Energy Savings Calculator.
How to Use the SEER Energy Savings Calculator
Input Your Current SEER Rating: Enter the SEER rating of your existing air conditioning unit. This information is typically found on the unit’s EnergyGuide label or in the user manual.
Enter the New SEER Rating: Specify the SEER rating of the new air conditioning system you’re considering. Higher SEER ratings indicate more energy-efficient units.
Provide Electricity Cost: Input your current electricity rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh). The average rate in California is approximately $0.32 per kWh.
Annual Usage Hours: Estimate the number of hours your air conditioner operates annually. In California, the average is around 2,100 hours per year.
After entering these values, the calculator will provide:
Annual Estimated Savings: The amount you could save on energy bills each year.
5-Year Estimated Savings: Projected savings over five years.
Benefits of Upgrading to a Higher SEER System
Energy Cost Savings: Higher efficiency units consume less electricity, reducing your monthly bills.
Enhanced Comfort: Modern systems provide more consistent cooling and better humidity control.
Environmental Impact: Lower energy consumption decreases your carbon footprint.
Example Savings
Upgrading from a 10 SEER unit to a 16 SEER unit can lead to substantial savings.
For instance, if your current annual cooling cost is $1,884 with a 10 SEER system, switching to a 16 SEER system could reduce that cost significantly to just $1,481, resulting in long-term financial benefits well into the thousands.
