What Does the SEER Rating of an AC System Mean in Simple Words?

The SEER rating of an AC system tells you how efficiently it cools your space. It's like a measure of its energy-saving capabilities. The higher the SEER rating, the more energy-efficient the AC system is, which means it can cool your home effectively while using less electricity. So, a higher SEER rating is generally better because it can save you money on your energy bills.


Variable-Capacity AC Compressor

Our Variable-capacity compressor, also known as Variable Speed, is the ultimate choice in terms of efficiency and noise reduction. It has the ability to operate at different speeds, ranging from 35-100%, depending on the cooling needs. Unlike two-stage systems, it offers a wider range of speeds, allowing the air conditioner to maintain lower speeds for extended periods while still having the option to increase to higher speeds when the outdoor temperature climbs. This means that variable-speed AC systems run continuously without frequent on/off cycles and only operate at the necessary speed to keep you comfortable. As a result, they are the most energy-efficient option among the three types of AC systems.

Two-Stage / Multi Stage AC Compressor

The two-stage AC compressor offers two operating levels: high for extremely hot summer days and low for milder summer days. Essentially, it provides the benefits of having two units in one. On days when the temperature is moderate, the compressor initially runs at 70%. If it doesn't cool the house to the desired level, it then switches to 100%. Since the low setting is sufficient for cooling homes about 80% of the time, a two-stage unit runs for longer periods, resulting in a more consistent indoor air temperature. Compared to a single-stage compressor, the two-stage compressor is more efficient because it doesn't cycle on and off as frequently, reducing wear and tear. Additionally, the two-stage system is capable of removing twice as much humidity as the single-stage system since it operates at the lower level for extended durations.

Single-Stage AC Compressor

A single-stage AC compressor operates at a consistent full-cold speed, with the thermostat regulating the home's temperature by turning the AC system and compressor on and off. In Indiana, the majority of homes with central air conditioning utilize a single-stage compressor, which has been the norm for many years. The latest single-stage models incorporate advanced technology, resulting in significantly improved energy efficiency compared to older models with lower SEER ratings.
