SEER no longer matters, SEER2 is the new rule!

What is SEER2 for air conditioners?

SEER2 has replaced SEER as of 2023.

SEER2 is the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio and is a measure of cooling efficiency over a typical cooling season. The higher the SEER2 rating, the more energy efficient the air conditioner. Rheem air conditioners have some of the highest SEER2 ratings in the industry, making them an excellent choice for those looking to save money on their energy bills.

What is SEER2?

SEER2 is a new standard for measuring the energy efficiency of air conditioners. It was developed by the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) and is now being used by the Department of Energy (DOE) to test and label air conditioners.

SEER2 takes into account the different ways that air conditioners are used in different parts of the country. For example, in the southern states, air conditioners are used more often and for longer periods of time than in the northern states. As a result, SEER2 ratings are higher for air conditioners that will be used in the south than for those that will be used in the north.

The Rheem Endeavor Series Air Conditioner is a great choice for those looking to save money on their energy bills. Rheem offers high quality parts at a reasonable price to keep you comfortable for a long time.

What is the minimum SEER2 requirement in Texas?

As of January 1, 2023, the minimum SEER2 requirement in Texas is 14.3 for 1.5 to 3.5 ton, and 13.8 for 4 and 5 ton. This means that any new air conditioners installed in Texas must have a SEER2 rating of at least 13.8/14.3.

The higher SEER2 requirement is part of a larger effort by the state of Texas to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions. By requiring air conditioners to be more efficient, it is hoped that homeowners and businesses will save money on their energy bills and that the state will see a reduction in emissions.

Rheem is a leading manufacturer of air conditioners and has a wide selection of models that meet the new SEER2 requirements in Texas. Rheem air conditioners are known for their quality, reliability, and efficiency, and are a great choice for anyone looking to install a new air conditioner in Texas.
