Three Things You Should Know When Buying a Packaged Unit

What is SEER2 rating?

The Department of Energy (DOE) is changing the way HVAC systems are tested for efficiency.  The new SEER2 rating should not be confused with the older SEER rating.  SEER2 stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating Ratio 2.  The higher the Seer2 rating the better the gas mileage so to speak, the more efficient the system performs.

However, most manufacturers label their equipment with an UP TO rating.  Meaning there are other factors that will contribute to how well your particular system will perform.

What are these other factors and how can you be sure to achieve the highest SEER2 rating as possible?  Call us and speak to a professional.

What are stages?

There are three different technologies used in air conditioning systems.  Single-Stage, Two-Stage, and Variable Speed.  The more stages the more capacities your system can perform. 

For example, a single-stage air conditioner always operates at 100% capacity.  Similar to a car that always has the gas pedal all the way down.  The more stages the more cooling variables your system operates.  

Just like your gas pedal rarely needs to be pedal to the metal.  It is rare that your AC unit needs to be at full power all wasting energy.  

How do multi-stage systems improve indoor air quality, humidity and comfort in your home?  Call us and speak to a professional.

What is HSPF2 rating?

The Department of Energy (DOE) is changing the way Heat Pump systems are tested for efficiency.  The new HSPF2 rating should not be confused with the older HSPF rating.  HSPF2 stands for Heating Seasonal Performance Factor 2.  The higher the HSPF2 rating the better the gas mileage so to speak, the more efficient the system performs.

However, most manufacturers label their equipment with an UP TO rating.  Meaning there are other factors that will contribute to how well your particular system will perform.

What are these other factors and how can you be sure to achieve the highest HSPF2 rating as possible?  Call us and speak to a professional.
