Central Air Conditioning SEER ratings, etc..
|
|
| Walter Cohen 2005-07-24, 9:10 pm |
| I have a Bryant central air unit and I'm trying to determine the SEER rating
for it.
Is there any way to tell by looking at the info plate on the outside of the
outdoor unit?
It gives me the serial number, prod #, mod number and a variety of numbers
as far as what freon charge it initially had, the h/p of the motor, the
voltage needed, etc.
Thanks,
Walter

Best check the Bryant website. I know of no way to find the seer rating by
the name plate unless it is listed. A package unit will be close to the
SEER ratings a split system could be lower because of installation issues.
Age will have a lot to do with the SEER. If your home is newer than 1995
then the unit is a 10 SEER minimum. If the unit is older than 1995,,,, well
you get the idea.
I offer this as a help to determine if you can save any money by changing
out the unit.

Notice that changing the insulation of the ducts will have a positive
effect.
