  • What is SEER2?

    SEER2 stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2. It is a measure used in the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) industry to gauge the energy efficiency of air conditioning units. The SEER2 rating of a unit is calculated by dividing the cooling output during a typical cooling season by the total electric energy input. Essentially, the higher the SEER2 rating, the more efficient the air conditioner.

  • Why is SEER2 more efficient?

    SEER2 is a more advanced and efficient system because it operates on variable speed technology. Traditional systems operate at one speed only - they're either on or off. In contrast, SEER2 systems can adjust their power and cooling output to match the exact demand of your home at any given time. This ability to run at lower speeds for longer periods allows SEER2 systems to offer increased efficiency, leading to energy savings and a more consistent indoor temperature.

  • What is inverter equipment?

    Inverter equipment in the context of HVAC refers to a technology that allows air conditioners, heat pumps, and similar appliances to vary the speed of their motors for precision control of cooling or heating in your space. Traditional HVAC systems simply switch on and off as needed, but an inverter system adjusts its output based on the cooling or heating demand of the space.

  • What are the benefits of inverter equipment?

    Energy Efficiency: By varying motor speed, inverter equipment consumes only the amount of energy necessary to maintain the desired temperature. This can lead to significant energy savings compared to non-inverter systems.


    Precise Control: Inverter equipment allows for more precise control of your space's temperature, ensuring optimal comfort.


    Quiet Operation: Because they don't have to start and stop repeatedly, inverter systems can operate more quietly than traditional systems.


    Longer Lifespan: The ability to adjust motor speeds reduces wear and tear on the system, potentially extending its lifespan.


    Fast Response: Inverter systems can reach the desired temperature more quickly than non-inverter systems, thanks to their ability to operate at high speeds initially.
