Is a New AC Worth It? 💵💲How Much You Will Save With A Higher SEER Rating

Is a new AC worth it?  The average cost of electricity in the summer here in Sacramento, CA, is around $0.247 per kWh. So, between 14 SEER and 20 SEER, you’ll save about 6-7% when you go from 14 to 15 to 16 all the way to 20 SEER. I created a calculator with some formulas that customers can use to play around with these numbers too. Watch this video if you keep trying to find the answer to this question, but can't really find any solid answers.

A lot of systems that have been running since let’s say, 1995 to 2005 are probably running around 10 SEER. They may have started around 12 SEER, but systems lose efficiency through wear and tear over the years. So, most people agree their system is running around 10 SEER now as they are looking to buy a new system. Since 2010, the lowest SEER system we can install is 14 SEER. In 2023, it’s going up to 15 and 16 SEER-2, so we’ll update this blog when we get there.
