Air Conditioner Service, SEER and What They Mean for You in Rochester, MN

December 31, 2015

Even with unpredictable weather, people in a lot of the country have experience with winter, even if only a little bit. Now it’s getting warmer and it’s a key time to schedule air conditioner service so you’re ready for everything this summer comes with.

As an air conditioner owner, you should become familiar with your system, including its SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio). SEER gives you a rating that indicates how efficient your air conditioner is. If you don’t know your current air conditioner’s SEER, ask your technician during your next air conditioner service call. He or she can help you determine its rating.

What Does SEER Mean for You?

Older air conditioners many times have a much lower SEER than the high-efficiency air conditioners offered today. A lower SEER means you could be wasting money on utility bills because of a less efficient system. An air conditioner with a higher SEER will be more efficient and has potential to save you a chunk of money in the long term. If you want more information about SEER or have questions about your air conditioner, be sure to ask your service technician.

Other factors will help you decide whether to buy a new air conditioner or continue with an annual air conditioner service plan on your current system, but knowing how efficient your system is should be on the top of the list.
