What Is SEER2 and Why Does It Matter for Your New AC in Texas?

As of January 2023, the Department of Energy updated minimum efficiency standards for HVAC equipment, replacing SEER with SEER2. In the South region (including Texas), new cooling systems must meet a minimum of 14.3 SEER2. Higher SEER2 ratings mean lower operating costs over time. When Air Zone Plus installs your new system, we ensure it meets all current federal and regional efficiency requirements.
