SEER2
The U.S Department of Energy has raised the minimum rating requirements starting in 2023 that include updated testing conditions and metrics to better reflect real-world conditions. SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) is a measurement of cooling efficiency over a typical cooling season. It is useful for comparing energy efficiency of cooling systems. The higher the SEER2, the more energy efficient the system.
