If you need a new cooling system, the question is which AC system is best for you and your home needs? Since there are quite a few different options and ways to go, it's important to distinguish the differences and understand the variables that go into choosing a new air conditioner or heat pump.
The most important terms when it comes to cooling systems are SEER and Tons, and we've put together an easy-to-understand summary and guide to understanding them:
SEER
The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures the energy efficiency of your air conditioner and heat pump over an entire season, by calculating the cooling output divided by your total electric energy input.
The more efficient your cooling system is the less energy it will take to cool your home. When it comes to SEER ratings, the higher the SEER rating the greater energy efficiency and that also means lower energy bills.
While there's no set range for SEER ratings, as maximum range increases with modern cooling systems becoming even more efficient, it's important to pay attention to some levels. For instance, the minimum SEER rating allowed today is 13, but if you have an older system, chances are the rating is 10 or less (and could even be as low as 6). The most efficient SEER ratings of air conditioners fall in the range of 20+.
TONS
Just as important as the SEER rating, or perhaps even more important, is the size of an HVAC unit. They are measured in ‘tons' – which was originally defined as the amount of heat removed by 1 ton of ice every 24 hours. In modern terms, 1 ton is defined as 12,000 BTU/hour, and 1 BTU = 1.06 kJ.
Why should you care about the tonnage?
The proper sizing of an AC or Heat Pump depends on a lot of variables; from overall square footage of the house, to type of insulation, to room layout, to the size/insulation value of the windows and which direction they face.
The thing to know is that, even though it may seem logical to assume that the higher or bigger the SEER and tons, the better – that may not always be the case. To illustrate, most of the higher SEER systems lose cooling power more rapidly at higher outdoor temperatures because they have smaller compressors, meaning that during a really hot day the higher SEER may not provide higher cooling comfort.
Other factors to consider are single vs. variable speed, how long you plan to stay in your home, etc. With all of the available options to consider, choosing the best equipment can be challenging. The best way to ensure that you have the properly sized unit at a good SEER rating for your unique needs is to have a professional HVAC contractor come to your home to properly measure your house and evaluate your unique needs.

XV18 Trane Air Conditioner installed in 2014
This particular job was our first of the XV line which we were very excited to see in action as they were released this year. We were particularly excited to see how the customer would take to the new technology. This XV18 system replaced a 1986 York unit. The difference in technology, efficiency, and total comfort was drastically different. The customer noted right away how much more comfortable they were at a higher temperature. This is due in large part to increased humidity removal compared to the older system. In particular this Trane system was installed on the master suite. After the first night they informed us how much quieter the XV18 system was than their previous one. The XV18 and XV20 have one of the widest operating ranges available in central air which makes for much greater efficiency gains and lower noise levels.
Old York AC Condenser – 1986 New XV18 Trane Condenser – 2014 Comfort Link II Thermostat 950
Pictured above is the Comfort Link II thermostat which is included with the XV18 and XV20 systems. It is fully programmable and as you can see is a touchscreen stat. One of my favorite features is the Home, Away, and Sleep modes. Instead of pressing the temp again and again to move the thermostat up or down you can go to your desired temperature with one click.

It should be noted that the comfort link II is the superior thermostat for this system. We've had a few customers ask for the nest which is fine for some systems but not for the XV Series. The Comfortlink also connects to WiFi as well it connects to Nexia (a home automation/management program) so you can adjust the temperature in your house from your iPad while your in Paris.
