What is "high efficiency"?
The minimum efficiency for current air conditioners is 13 SEER. The minimum standard was raised from 10 to 13 in 2006, representing a 23% increase in energy efficiency. Anything above 15 SEER would be considered high efficiency in our market - D & M Heating & Air Conditioning carries air conditioners up to SEER 21.

What is SEER?
SEER is the industry's measure of efficiency.  It stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. SEER ratings are based on testing different operating conditions and compiling the average over a season of use. The higher the number, the more efficient the unit is. For example, a unit that is 10 to 15 years old was commonly a 10 SEER unit. Let's assume it costs $100 to run for a given month. A 13 SEER unit, running in the exact same month and conditions, would have cooled the same space for approximately $77. Our most efficient air conditioner, a 21 SEER, would have done the job for approximately $48.

Can I still get Freon?
It is being produced at a lower rate, and will continue to be produced at a lower and lower rate, until it is phased out completely in 2020. Price of R-22 FREON is increasing dramatically as the phase out of this refrigerant has been accelerated from the original schedule. New units that use freon are phased out earlier.

What about the new refrigerant, Puron®?
Puron is the replacement refrigerant being used in most manufacturers' residential air conditioning systems. Puron® refrigerant is environmentally sound and won't deplete the ozone layer. It was introduced in 1996. Carrier was the first manufacturer to introduce this refrigerant, and has had the highest reliability. The temperatures and performance of Puron feel the same, if not better, to most homeowners.
