13 SEER & Earth Day: Collaborating for a Greener Future
Summary
Through the efforts of governments, grassroots movements, and eco-conscious companies, Earth Day has grown into a global initiative dedicated to environmental protection.---
April 22 marks the 35th anniversary of Earth Day?"a global celebration aimed at safeguarding our environment. In the U.S., the Department of Energy (DOE) plays a crucial role in this mission. To further these efforts, the DOE recently mandated that all new central air conditioners manufactured after January 23, 2006, must have a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) of at least 13. This SEER rating is similar to miles-per-gallon for cars; the higher the SEER, the more efficient the air-conditioning system.
The 13 SEER standard is set to save the nation 4.2 quadrillion British Thermal Units of energy over 25 years (2006-2030), equivalent to the energy used by approximately 26 million American homes in one year. Consumers are expected to save $1 billion during this period.
Companies like York, a division of Johnson Controls, are going beyond the 13 SEER benchmark, offering cooling systems that achieve 15 and even 18 SEER. These advancements are largely due to increased coil surfaces in outdoor units, which transport refrigerant. Consequently, the outdoor units can be 50 to 90 percent larger than their 10 SEER counterparts and may use up to 40 percent more refrigerant than some indoor coils can handle. Thus, ensuring the indoor and outdoor units are properly matched is vital.
A mismatched system can lead to reduced comfort, higher utility bills, increased system stress, and costly repairs. Consulting a qualified dealer ensures your system is correctly matched, installed, and operates efficiently and economically.
If you’re considering upgrading your HVAC system, consult the experts at York. They can connect you with a qualified dealer to maintain, repair, or replace your system components effectively.
