New SEER Ratings in 2023

Find Out How It Can Affect You
Are You in Need of a New HVAC system in Wilmington, NC or Surrounding Areas? If so, you will want to read this first.
​

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will raise the minimum efficiency requirements for central air conditioners and air-source heat pumps starting in January 2023. Systems sold in the U.S. beginning January 1, 2023, must meet those minimum standards.
​
This change will create a new generation of HVAC systems designed to be more efficient and eco-friendly. But you’ll also pay more to enjoy these new features, a factor to consider if you plan to replace your equipment in the next few months.
​
What Is SEER and How Does it Impact HVAC Systems?
​

The seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) measures cooling system efficiency. The higher the number, the better the efficiency.

Beginning next year, SEER ratings for AC units and heat pumps will increase from 14 to 15 SEER in the South and Southwest regions of the country.

The increase in efficiency means you will use less electricity for the same amount of cooling. Your home’s carbon footprint will shrink, and so will your utility bills. But you can expect manufacturers to increase prices to accommodate the new SEER ratings.

What Is SEER2?
​

SEER2 represents new testing standards for cooling systems beginning in 2023. The testing standards give consumers a more accurate picture of how an installed HVAC system will perform. Similar to the changes in the SEER rating, these new testing standards do not impact your current system. But they will drive up purchase costs in the future. The new testing requirements mean any equipment the manufacturers produce must now adhere to SEER2 standards.
​
You can save money immediately on utility bills by upgrading today to a high-efficiency system. Plus, you’ll pay less in purchasing costs. Otherwise, wait until 2023 to buy a system with the new SEER ratings. Our trained professionals can walk you through the pros and cons.
