In 2023, the industry moved to SEER2, a more rigorous testing standard that accounts for external static pressure in residential ductwork. As an official Goodman and Daikin Pro, I help homeowners navigate these ratings. Higher SEER2 ratings mean lower operational costs, especially during our increasingly warm Seattle summers.
What is a good SEER2 rating for a new AC?
In the Pacific Northwest, a SEER2 of 15-18 is typically the “sweet spot” for balancing upfront cost with long-term energy savings. For maximum efficiency, inverter systems can reach SEER2 ratings well above 20.
