New SEER Standards for 2023: What SEER2 Means for AC and Heat Pump Efficiency.

Air conditioners are measured in a variety of ways. There’s horsepower, BTU, amps and wattage, among other information on the sticker. When it comes to efficiency however, AC units are measured by two universal standards: EER and SEER.

What are they, and how do they factor when shopping for an air conditioner unit?

More information about EER and SEER can be found in our Newsletter.

The most common question other than, "How much is new one?". A new shiny car is much more exciting than a new AC System, but the fact remains, sometimes it is best to replace it. Age, previous repairs, efficiency and original installation are all variables considered when replacing a system. We will only recommend replacement when we can show mechanically and financially that it makes sense to replace. Just remember, anything can be fixed. It doesn't mean it should be.

Just like any other mechanical component, it must be maintained regularly. Just like oil changes on a car, maintenance is critical. Here in Texas, a service around spring time is critical to be prepared for the coming heat. A heating service (during fall) is also highly recommended. Key Fact: Most warranty programs require documented maintenance to be completed.
