SEER2 ratings are a measure of the efficiency of an HVAC system. It’s a representative ratio of cooling output to total energy consumption. The higher the rating, the more efficient the system. The SEER2 rating can range anywhere from 14 to 21.
Each split system cooling unit has a nominal SEER2 rating. For a higher rating your HVAC contractor can provide advice about an upgrade. The SEER2 rating of a system is based on the combination of equipment installed in the home. The outdoor equipment (heat pump or air conditioner), as well as the indoor equipment (evaporator coil and furnace, or air handler), play a vital role in the total rating.
Your heating and cooling systems work incredibly hard to perform their functions for your home everyday. The constant stopping, starting and continual operation can wear down any machine if the proper care and maintenance is delayed. However, by performing regular maintenance, you can maximize the lifecycle of your heating or cooling unit and guard against many common equipment failures. Preventive maintenance inspections performed on a regular basis can uncover leaks, rust, rot, soot, frayed wires and corroded electrical contacts. You should have maintenance completed on your system regularly to ensure maximum efficiency and prevent possible problems that may occur in the near future.
HVAC systems require a professional tune-up twice a year; once during the cooling season in spring/summer and again in the heating season during fall/winter. At the heat inspection for fall/winter we inspect the thermostat, heat exchanger, safety controls, ignition system, motors, reverse valve, flue assembly, electrical connections, and burners. Meanwhile, during the cooling inspection we check the Freon charge, electrical connections, air flow, condensate drains, compressor, amperage & voltage, wiring, and inspect & clean the outdoor condenser coil.

Programmable thermostats are more accurate and efficient than thermostats that contain mercury. With a programmable thermostat, you can program settings in advance so that you can control the temperature at different times of the day. You will never have to worry about remembering to adjust the settings manually. By scheduling your programmable thermostat to a higher or lower temperature based on your weekday work hours, you can save money on energy bills without sacrificing comfort. A Pruitt Heating & Air, Inc. technician will gladly walk you through how to use your programmable thermostat.
Filters for your Trane unit are made from higher-quality materials than those of the disposable filters found in retail stores. For that reason, replacement Trane filters can only be purchased through a Trane dealer. However, keep in mind that some Trane filters are reusable, and can be washed by hand in cold water.
