Is 14 SEER good enough?

14 SEER Units The current national minimum requirement for SEER rating is 13. Despite this, 14 SEER units are still incredibly energy efficient. Most 14 SEER systems are 20-30% more energy efficient than air conditioning systems from just 15 years ago.

Which SEER rating should I buy?

If you’re shopping for a new air conditioner, you may be wondering if you should go with a 14-SEER system (the minimum requirement in our area), or a more energy-efficient system (16+ SEER).

Is 14 SEER going away?

Beginning in 2023, Jon Wayne Heating & Air and every other heating and air conditioning company in the northern half of the United States can no longer install an AC unit with a SEER 13 rating or lower. The new federal regulation means all air conditioners we install are at least SEER 14.

If the 16-SEER unit you’re comparing has single-stage technology, the actual comfort levels will typically be the same as a 14-SEER unit. However, you get more “cooling for your dollar” with a 16-SEER unit.

Is 16 SEER worth it?
