Save More Energy with the Right AC Unit 

During Puget Sound spring, we get a nice break from high energy bills. Most days, it’s warm enough to keep the heating off, and we don’t need the AC on yet. 

But once the temperature starts inching into the high 70s, 80s, and 90s, our energy usage starts creeping up as we turn on the air conditioning. If you’re tired of paying high electricity bills every summer, tools like smart thermostats can help you cut back. But sometimes, it’s your AC unit itself that’s wasting more power than necessary. 

At Bob’s Heating, we help homeowners in Issaquah and surrounding areas keep their homes cool while reducing energy costs. One way to spot if your AC is an energy waster is to check its AC Seer rating. If it’s high, great—but if it’s low, contact Bob’s Heating for help picking out a new, highly efficient AC.

Learn More About SEER Ratings and How They Affect Your Home Comfort

When choosing an air conditioner for your home, one factor to consider is the SEER rating, which stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It's a measure of an air conditioning unit's cooling efficiency over a typical cooling season. While higher SEER ratings offer better efficiency, the best choice depends on factors like your climate, home size, and budget. Generally, a good SEER rating is 14 or higher, but it’s best to consult with a professional HVAC company like Bob’s to help you determine the nuanced role each of these criteria plays. 

Below, we explore SEER ratings in-depth so you can continue your research and make an informed decision that balances cost, comfort, and environmental responsibility. Keep reading!
