If you or someone you know is on the fence about replacing their AC system, now is the time! Please share this post and spread the word.
SEER2 is a new minimum efficiency requirement for air conditioners and heat pumps that goes into effect this year. It will also go into effect on Jan 1, 2023. The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of a new A/C or heat pump must now be 14 or higher nationwide, increased from the current standard of 13.
Why does this matter? Because many of the air conditioners currently on the market and being sold will no longer meet the new SEER2 standards. This means that the number of qualifying A/Cs able to be sold goes down, and so the price of a new A/C unit goes up. Supply and demand, that’s just how it is!
THE UGLY: Waiting to buy a new A/C
So if you wait after Jan 1, 2023, to buy a new air conditioner, you’re going to be paying more for it. A lot more. In fact, because we’re in Arizona, the requirements are even stricter than the national requirements – the SEER needs to be at least 14.3, instead of just 14.
