air conditioning maintenance in Denver, CO

 

The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, otherwise known as the SEER rating system, helps gauge the overall effectiveness of your cooling and heating system during cooling and heating seasons. Multiple factors can affect your rating. BullsEye Plumbing, Heating, and Air can ensure customers have access to accurate SEER ratings for your home cooling system. Moreover, we can provide our customers with air conditioning maintenance in Colorado Springs, CO.

What Impacts SEER Ratings?

The ratings are determined by how much energy is required to cool your home to the industry standard temperature and maintain that temperature. Factors that can impact your SEER rating include, but are not limited to:

  • Clogged air filters.
  • Damaged or ill-repaired cooling/heating units.
  • The structure and layout of your home. This includes the location of air ducts, ventilation systems, and the quality of insulation.

Due to the summer weather, many residents neglect to have air conditioning repair completed regularly. This is one of the driving factors in reduced SEER ratings and ineffective cooling.

What Services Improve My SEER Ratings?

As SEER ratings depend upon how efficient your cooling and heating system is, air conditioning services have a positive impact on your unit’s rating. Regularly servicing your cooling system improves its efficiency and, therefore, will help save you money on your regular heating and cooling.

What Is a Standard SEER Rating?

The US Department of Energy has enforced a minimum SEER rating of 13 on all air conditioning units. However, minimum ideal ratings across the United States vary based on how you’ll be using your system. Typically, however, a rating between the ranges of 13 and 21 is ideal. If you are using an older unit, your SEER rating could be as low as 8. In this case, you may want to consider air conditioning replacement in Colorado Springs, CO.
