What Is a Good Eer Value

Generally, an EER of 12 or above is considered energy efficient, however, when comparing two models, the one with the higher EER is more energy efficient regardless of whether or not it is above 12.

Is 9.7 EER good?

Are ENERGY STAR units always the most efficient? … For example, in the 5,000 to 5,999 BTU range, all room air conditioners currently manufactured need to have an Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of 9.7, while an ENERGY STAR unit needs to be at least 10% more efficient, with an EER of 10.7.

Is SEER or EER more important?

In SEER and EER, the higher the number, the more efficiently the unit uses electricity. SEER numbers are higher than EER numbers for any given model of air conditioner. For example, the Amana AVXC 20 central air conditioner has a SEER rating of 23 and an EER rating of 14.
