Is now a good time to consider buying an energy-efficient air conditioner? Indeed it is. For one thing, an efficient unit will save you considerable money over time. In addition to the savings in money, in our age of depleted fuel reserves and stress on the environment, it is important to conserve our natural resources whenever possible. While there is some cost upfront to make the change to a modern highly efficient air conditioner, the savings in dollars over the life of the unit will offset the initial expense. The benefit to the environment in energy savings is priceless.

When considering your AC options, you should understand the numbers and terms related to cooling efficiency applied to the unit. You will see cooling capacity in Btu, and ratings expressed as SEER, or EER. It is important to have a basic understanding of these terms. Btu stands for British thermal unit, and indicates the cooling output of the AC. SEER and EER are related, but are not quite the same. EER stands for Energy Efficiency Ratio, and compares the cooling output of a unit to the input in energy required to operate it. SEER, on the other hand, stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and sets the standard for a normal year of operation for the unit in a certain location.
