Why are air conditioners with a higher SEER number more expensive?Updated 9 months ago

SEER stands for "Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio." 

Units with higher SEER ratings perform much more efficiently than those with lower SEER ratings. You will see a return on your investment within a year's time. 

These units provide the same amount of cooling and heating but consume less power. I believe most power companies offer a rebate incentive for installing high-efficiency HVAC systems. 

Please check with your city to see what the rebate will be.
