WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN CHOOSING AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS
Comfort
Features
Different central air conditioner products affect your comfort and the consistency of indoor cool air. A single-stage air conditioner is the most basic model, with airflow on or off. A two-stage model offers high- and low-stage cooling as conditions require and therefore can provide enhanced comfort levels. Variable-speed AC systems include premium comfort features such as multiple stages for more precise temperature control and more consistent comfort.
Humidity
Control
Reducing the humidity levels within your home can dramatically improve your comfort and indoor air quality. To help cool your home, your AC unit pulls heat and humidity out of indoor air, using your system’s blower to circulate the air. Models with a variable-speed compressor provide excellent humidity control because they can operate at lower speeds for longer times. So, they spend more time pulling humidity out of the air than models with a two-stage or single-stage compressor.
Sound
Performance
Air conditioners with variable and multi-stage compressors provide ultra-quiet operation compared to models with single-stage compressors. In addition, models that include sound blankets and our Silencer System II™ design can further reduce noise levels. If your AC unit is located near a bedroom window or patio, for example, sound performance might be an important feature to consider.
Energy
Savings
Air conditioners are rated by their seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER2). The SEER2 rating of an air conditioner is much like miles per gallon (MPG) for a car: The higher the SEER2 rating, the more energy efficient the system.

SEER2 AND EER2 RATINGS
We have introduced all new air conditioners that are compliant with the 2023 Department of Energy minimum efficiency requirements as part of our ongoing commitment to creating energy-efficient HVAC systems. These new air conditioners have also been reviewed and tested under the new 2023 testing procedures and have SEER2 and EER2 ratings published.
Effective January 1, 2023, the Department of Energy (DOE) is requiring new testing procedures to determine efficiency ratings on split system air conditioners. The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER and SEER2) and Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER and EER2) are two efficiency standards set by the DOE for HVAC systems. These ratios are calculated by using rigorous testing procedures that are determined by the DOE. The Department Of Energy updated these newair conditioner efficiency standards to SEER2 and EER2, on January 1, 2023, to account for more accurate testing conditions that better represent actual operating conditions and are required for any equipment manufactured and installed on or after January 1, 2023.
Air conditioning is a process that involves the removal of heat and humidity from indoor air to provide a cooler and more comfortable environment. Learn more about how does air conditioning work.
