is like gas mileage. The
higher the miles per
gallon rating, the
ore efficient the
m
automobile or
13.0
system is. The
Comfort 13 has a
13.0 SEER rating.
● Heating Seasonal
Performance Factor or
HSPF is also like gas
mileage. The Comfort 13
has an HSPF rating of
up to 7.7.
● While higher efficiency
systems may cost more
initially, they pay for
themselves in utility cost
savings over their lifetime.
Greater Operational
Efficiency
For every $100 you spend
using a 10.0 SEER packaged
system, a 13.0 SEER system
should cost about $76. Actual
savings will depend on the
efficiency of your current
system compared to the
efficiency of a new system.
