We could get into ALOT of technical mumbo jumbo here, and I will at the bottom of this page if you care to read it. But basically you can look SEER as MPG or miles per gallon. Just like in your car. Its the efficiency of the AC unit in the cooling mode at 82 degrees. The higher the SEER the cheaper to operate. S.E.E.R. is an efficiency rating, much like how miles per gallon (MPG) is used to rate automobile efficiency. We all understand that if you drive 300 miles and consume exactly 20 gallons of gas, then your vehicle's fuel efficiency (MPG) is 15 miles per gallon (300 miles divided by 20 gallons).
Even the most durable and well-designed air conditioners need to be replaced eventually. However, you don't want to replace your unit prematurely. There's a definite balance to strike between having repairs performed and finally upgrading to a new unit. It's easier to make the correct decision when you consider a few key points. So much has changed in the world of air conditioning in recent years that if your system is at least 10 years old and has almost any significant breakdown it may be worth replacing it instead of repairing it.
