This list is here to help you better understand these ratings and find a unit that is energy efficient.<\/p>\n<p>These are some of the most common energy efficiency ratings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>SEER<\/strong> &#8211; A very common rating to see, SEER stands for seasonal energy efficiency. This rating is calculated by dividing an entire cooling season output by the total electric energy used during that same period. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/understanding-seer-ratings\/\">SEER ratings<\/a> tend to run from around 10.9 up to 23 as the standard.<\/li>\n<li><strong>EER<\/strong> &#8211; Energy efficiency ratio is a more general type of energy efficiency rating. It is determined by calculating the outside temperature against the inside temperature. EER is mostly used for smaller air conditioners like window units.<\/li>\n<li><strong>HSPF<\/strong> \u2013 The heating seasonal performance factor is used to rate the efficiency of heat pumps. The overall heating output is divided by the total electricity used. HSPF ratings go up to 10 and a lower number means a more efficient unit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>IEER<\/strong> &#8211; Different from EER, IEER stands for Integrated Energy Efficiency Ratio and is frequently used on split systems. This efficiency rating is important but is often overlooked or not mentioned during the purchasing process. It helps to evaluate a split system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AFUE<\/strong> &#8211; This energy efficiency rating measures the fuel-efficiency of furnaces and boilers. With this rating, the higher the number, the more efficient your unit is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Overlook_Energy_Efficiency\"><\/span>Don&rsquo;t Overlook Energy Efficiency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/energy-efficiency-ratings-explianed-2-300x156.jpg\" alt=\"Understanding Energy Efficiency Ratings\" width=\"300\" height=\"156\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-8013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/energy-efficiency-ratings-explianed-2-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/energy-efficiency-ratings-explianed-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Paying close attention to an HVAC system&rsquo;s efficiency ratings is vital in saving you money in the long run.
