Time is a factor to consider in more ways than one. If your AC is approaching ten years of use, it is time to consider a modern replacement. Other terms related to cooling efficiency are found in the ratings applied to the unit. You will see the term Btu, and ratings expressed as SEER, or EER. Btu stands for British thermal unit. The Btu rating indicates the cooling output of the AC. SEER and EER are related, but are not exactly the same. The term EER stands for Energy Efficiency Ratio, and compares the cooling output of a unit to the input in energy required to operate it. SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and applies to a normal year of operation for the unit in a certain location.
