If you’re thinking about replacing your AC system, you’ve probably come across the term SEER2. Here’s a quick breakdown for fellow DFW homeowners:
???? What is SEER2?
It stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio – Version 2, introduced in 2023. Unlike older ratings, SEER2 reflects real-world conditions—like ductwork length and airflow resistance, which are common in Texas homes.
???? Why the Update?
The Department of Energy wanted efficiency ratings that actually match how systems perform in real homes, especially in tough climates like ours.
???? SEER vs. SEER2 (What Changed?)
A system once labeled SEER 16 might now be SEER2 15.2. In Texas, the minimum required is:
• 14.3 SEER2 (for smaller systems)
• 13.8 SEER2 (for larger systems)
???? Why It Matters:
• Lower electric bills during peak summer months
• More consistent comfort across your home
• Eligibility for rebates and tax credits
• Smarter long-term investment in your property
???? Not Sure What Rating You Need?
Most homes do best with SEER2 ratings between 14.3–20.0. The key is matching your home’s needs—not just buying the “highest number.”
