What is 'SEER'?

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) - A measure of seasonal or annual efficiency of a central air conditioner or air conditioning heat pump. It takes into account the variations in temperature that can occur within a season and is the average number of Btu of cooling delivered for every watt-hour of electricity used by the heat pump over a cooling season. Think of it as "Miles Per Gallon" for an air conditioner. A bigger number is better. the energy codes for all USA air conditioning is a minimum of 13 SEER. [from Energy Savers: Glossary at at The U.S. Department of Energy Website]

It is recommended to consult with a professional HVAC technician for a proper and safe conversion process.

What are the key components and functions of air conditioning compressors?

Air conditioning compressors are essential components that play a crucial role in the cooling process of air conditioning systems. They work by compressing and circulating refrigerant gas to remove heat from the indoor air. The key components of air conditioning compressors include the motor, compressor pump, and refrigerant lines. The main functions of air conditioning compressors are to pressurize the refrigerant gas, circulate it through the system, and facilitate the heat exchange process to cool the air inside a building.
