To help consumers make informed choices, the U.S. government requires an efficiency rating of all air conditioning and heating equipment. The rating is meant to reflect the percentage of energy used efficiently. A high rating indicates high efficiency. There are various names for the efficiency ratings of varying types of equipment. Air conditioning equipment is rated by the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating, or SEER.

The federal government requires all air conditioning and heating equipment to be rated for efficiency. The higher the rating, the more efficient the model. Gas furnaces are rated for (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). This defines the amount of heat used to warm your home from the burned fuel. A 90% furnace will use 90% of the available heat to heat your home. 10% of the heat is vented outdoors. Many older gas furnaces are only 60% efficient. The other 40% is vented outdoors.

The numbers for Speed, Glide, Turn, and Fade can be used to rate various aspects of our disc's flight characteristics. Once you have thrown one of our disc models, you can use the flight rating numbers to compare the performance to any of our other discs. Go to Disc Rating System for a complete explanation of these terms.

of January 1st, 2006, no units with SEER ratings lower than 13 will be produced in the USA. this means that after that date, the minimum SEER rating you can purchase will be 13 SEER. At Furnace Factory Direct Inc. we recommend purchasing the minimum SEER prior to January 1st 2006. The price levels and efficiencies make it the best return on investment.

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. The higher the SEER rating, the more energy efficient the system will be.

The U.S. government requires an efficiency rating of all air conditioning and heating equipment. The rating reflects the percentage of energy used efficiently, with higher ratings indicating higher-efficiency.

Each split system cooling unit has a nominal SEER rating. This rating can be increased with the upgrade of the indoor unit. The SEER rating of a system is derived based on the combination of equipment installed in the home. The outdoor equipment (heat pump or air conditioner), as well as the indoor equipment (evaporator coil and furnace, or air handler), play a vital role in the rating. Please see your Carrier dealer for the information.

SEER means Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. Like its "mpg" counterpart in the automotive industry, the SEER gives an indication of the performance efficiency of the system. The higher the SEER, the more efficient the unit. And, the more efficient the unit, the lower the operating costs. Experts say that by purchasing a system with a high SEER, you'll use less energy to cool your house, resulting in lower electric bills.

The spaminess of any comment is mathematically computed taking into account all its features, and represents the relative likelihood that it is spam. Lower spaminess values indicate a lower chance of the comment being spam. High spaminess suggests a comment is very likely spam.

Make sure your air conditioning/heating unit is properly sized for your home. Operating a unit that is too small or too large is highly inefficient. A unit that can't keep up with the hottest afternoons or coldest nights may well be a unit that is too small for your home.

Ans. Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. This is the equivalent of EPA mileage on an automobile – The HIGHER the BETTER. January 2006 13 SEER is the minimum allowed by the federal government.

That 10-10-10 on the bag or bottle is best explained by remembering "up, down, all-around". The first number is the percentage of nitrogen by weight. Nitrogen promotes growth and green-up. The second number is the percentage of phosphorus by weight and is helpful for good root growth. The third number is the percentage of potassium by weight which promotes all-around plant health such as hardiness and disease resistance. Gordon's currently has 3 liquid fertilizers and a granular weed and feed.

The efficiency of central air conditioning units is governed by U.S. law and regulated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Every air conditioning unit is assigned an efficiency rating known as its “seasonal energy efficiency ratio” (SEER). The SEER is defined as the total cooling output (in British thermal units or Btu) provided by the unit during its normal annual usage period divided by its total energy input (in watt-hours) during the same period.
