SEER2 Energy Savings Calculator

How much can I save by upgrading my AC SEER2 rating?

SEER2 savings depend on the old efficiency, new efficiency, system size, cooling hours, and your electric rate. In Broward County, the rate should usually start with FPL or the cents-per-kWh on your bill, then be edited for your actual utility and plan.

Calculator Inputs

Annual kWh = tons x 12,000 BTU divided by SEER2 divided by 1,000 x cooling hours. Savings = old kWh minus new kWh x electric rate.

SEER2 Energy Savings Calculator FAQs

Why does the rate field stay editable?

Electric bills include fuel, base, recovery, taxes, and plan-specific charges. The editable field keeps the math useful even when rates change.

Does SEER2 savings pay for a new AC by itself?

Usually it is only one part of the decision. Comfort, reliability, repair risk, humidity, financing, and installation scope also matter.

What if my old unit uses SEER instead of SEER2?

Use the rating you know as a planning input. Abraham AC can help compare actual equipment options during the estimate.
