SEERLast weekend Home-Tech had a special event in our showroom in Bradenton. There were quite a few of our appliance and ac experts on hand to answer questions from customers. I was visiting with customers in our air conditioning educational area in our showroom and happened to overhear a customer ask our salesperson, “What is a Seer?”  We understand that for the average customer, much of air conditioning terminology can be a mystery. After all, we aren’t all engineers or ac specialists. So let’s tackle this topic today. What does SEER mean?

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio – SEER

This term is a way to rate the efficiency of an air conditioning unit.  The higher the number the better.  It’s like getting a higher score on a test.  Speaking of tests, here’s the math part of the rating.  SEER is actually the cooling output during a typical season divided by the total energy input during the same season.  Starting in January of 2006 all residential ac units sold in the US had to have a SEER of at least 13.  To be qualified as an ENERGY STAR air conditioner the unit had to have a SEER of at least 14.  Now there are units with much higher ratings.

The longer your cooling season (ehem – Florida, for example) the more you can justify the cost of installing a higher SEER air conditioning unit because the cost savings on your utility bills will ultimately pay you back for the purchase cost of your new system.  One note:  it is very important to do the maintenance on your system as the score

will decrease if you don’t. It doesn’t make any sense to spend the money on a high efficiency system so you get a great SEER rating and then not do the minor maintenance to take care of it.

Employee Ownership

“The key difference is quite simple. Employees own the business,” says the CEO, Steve Marino. “I think it’s the perfect model for a service business in Southwest Florida. What we offer employees is a piece of their business. When someone is vested, when they own a stake in something, they are more likely to stay. What does this mean to our customers? Our employees really care that every experience you have, every service that is done is TOP NOTCH.”
