Choosing a new air conditioner is one of the biggest home investments you'll make. Here's how to get it right.
Understanding SEER2 Ratings
SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2) is the new standard for measuring AC efficiency. The minimum for Maryland as of 2023 is 14.3 SEER2. Higher ratings (16-21 SEER2) cost more upfront but save significantly on energy bills.
Proper Sizing Matters
An oversized unit cycles on and off too frequently, wasting energy and leaving your home humid. An undersized unit runs constantly and can't keep up on hot days. A proper Manual J load calculation is essential.
