SEER = Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. SEER is used for central air conditioners and heat pumps and determines expected energy efficiency for the whole season, so the efficiency of the AC is measured at air temperatures from 65F to 104F. Because SEER is measured at various temperatures, it accounts for the AC starting and stopping. EER = Energy Efficiency Ratio. EER …

Humidity
