Important 13 SEER Information
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is 13 SEER?
New Federal mandate affects homeowners with air conditioners
Central air conditioners are rated according to their Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER), the higher
the SEER the more efficient the air conditioner. The current national efficiency standard for air
conditioning systems took effect in 1992, requiring a minimum SEER of 10. New standards, set to take
effect on January 23, 2006, will raise the SEER requirement to 13, an efficiency improvement of 30%.
Overall the changes are good for the environment and increase consumer’s peace of mind by improving
comfort and indoor air quality.
Beginning January 23rd manufactures of HVAC equipment will no longer be allowed to make 10 SEER air
conditioning equipment. That means that once the supply of 10 SEER equipment depletes, only the 13
SEER equipment will be available for replacements.
How does this affect YOU?
A 13 SEER unit costs approximately $200 - $300 more than 10 & 12 SEER units. Several major
components of an air conditioner can be replaced independently of one another, allowing a system to be
repaired vs. replaced. However there are incompatibility issues between 10 SEER and 13 SEER equipment
that may require additional components to be replaced rather than the one component that failed.
For example: When a 10 SEER condenser can’t be repaired and must be replaced with a 13 SEER unit, the
10 SEER evaporative coil must also be replaced with a 13 SEER unit even though there is no mechanical
malfunction with the 10 SEER evaporative coil. In addition, modifications may be required to convert to a
13 SEER system – all resulting in additional costs to the homeowner.
