What is SEER & EER Verification?
EER and SEER verification both show how productive air conditioners are. It is done by testing both central air conditioners and heat pumps. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) expects that the evaluations be noticeably shown on a wide range of cooling units to provide buyers with help in deciding on energy proficiency.
The energy efficiency ratio (EER) and the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) both show efficiency. Nonetheless, the essential difference between the two is the way they’re estimated. EER is determined by running cooling hardware for a more limited period under intense heat, while SEER demonstrates how productive the framework is throughout the span of a cooling season at moderate temperatures.
How They're Measured?
To find the EER, engineers raise the outdoor temperature to 95 degrees and measure how much power the air conditioner or heat pump utilizations to cool a space to 80 degrees. To find the SEER, the outside temperature is held at 82 degrees for a longer period of time to cool a space to 80 degrees with an indoor humidity of 50%.
What to Look For?
The DOE, as of late, changed the EER and SEER standards for western states, including California. Besides the fact that they raised the essentials, they likewise require both the EER and SEER are shown on the EnergyGuide label. Since the western states have an area that experience outrageous heat, finding both the SEER and EER assists customers with picking new units that perform well during both moderate and high intensity.
While you’re searching for a new heat pump or air conditioner, it’s important to search for one with a high SEER, whose minimum for our state remains at 14. The new least EER must be 14 for central heating or air conditioner with 45,000 BTUs or less and an EER of 14 for those more than 45,000 BTUs.
Is EER and SEER the same?
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures how efficiently an air conditioner works over an extended period of time which is usually an entire season. While on the other hand, the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) is a standardized measurement of the efficiency of an air conditioner. The higher either ratio is, the more efficient the unit is.
What is the lowest SEER rating allowed in California?
As per the law in California, new central air conditioning units must have a SEER rating going from 14 to 25 SEER or more. Any unit with an ENERGY STAR sticker has basically a 15 SEER. Window air conditioners are not included in these legal necessities, and their evaluations are frequently lower.
What is a good SEER and EER rating?
Greater energy efficiency can be acquired by a higher SEER rating. The minimum standard required for SEER for air conditioners is 14. Modern AC units have a SEER that ranges from 14 to 21.
