Like any machine an Air Conditioner or Heat Pump will wear out. As its moving parts wear they become less efficient. Expect an average Air Conditioner/Heat Pump to lose approximately 2% per year in efficiency. So at the end of ten years a 10 SEER air-conditioner will be consuming more energy like an 8 SEER or 6 SEER air-conditioner.

SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) is kind of like miles per gallon in an automobile, the higher the SEER the lower the cooling cost, or electricity to operate the AC system. In a comparison of SEER versus percentages saved in cooling costs, you may expect — if your system was a 10 SEER when it was new and is 10 to 15 years old today — it could have a SEER rating of 8 SEER or lower. By replacing your existing AC system with a Puron 13 SEER air conditioner, you will reduce your cooling cost up to 38%, a 14 SEER air conditioner up to 42% and a 15 SEER system would reduce operating costs up to 46%. These percentages will vary depending on how you use your system. Puron is R-410A, the new environment-friendly refrigerant that helps in preventing the ozone layer depletion.
