  • SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio and is a measure of an A/C’s average annual cooling efficiency. The higher the SEER, the more efficient the unit.
  • For additional air conditioning information and energy-saving tips, check out our heating and cooling guide.

A Participating Independent Contractor (PIC) is a qualified independent business that follows our program standards and you can hire to install your new A/C. Find a PIC.

Depending on the size and efficiency of your current A/C, a new system could save you money on your energy bill. If you upgrade an older three-ton A/C with a new, higher-efficiency model, you could save around $470 annually.1

A straight cool A/C is one that includes a cooling cycle only. A gas, oil or electric strip heater may be included, but it does not have a separate heating cycle. This is a less expensive system compared to others that have a heating cycle, and it’s perfect for mild winters.

A heat pump A/C provides a cooling cycle during the summer and a heating cycle during the winter. And may cost slightly more than a straight cool system to purchase.  

1Costs are estimates based on South Florida area average of 2,800 annual A/C cooling operating hours and current rate of 10 cents per kWh.
