Potential Energy Savings:
Savings based on the rating of a matched system, compared to older systems (10 SEER or lower installed prior to 2006). Potential energy savings may vary based on lifestyle, system settings, maintenance, climate, home construction, and installation.
- 22 SEER: up to 64%
- 21 SEER: up to 62%
- 20 SEER: up to 60%
- 16 SEER: up to 50%
- 15 SEER: up to 47%
- 14 SEER: up to 43%
- 13 SEER: up to 38%
- 10 SEER: up to 20%
- 8 SEER: 0%
Conventional vs. AccuComfort™: A Clear Difference
Conventional Air Conditioner (Single Stage): Tends to leave gaps in comfort between cycles, leading to temperature fluctuations. Operates at a fixed speed, often resulting in higher noise levels (up to 75dB) and less efficient energy use.
AccuComfort™ Variable Speed (500/700/750 Stages): Avoids large temperature swings by automatically adjusting speed. Operates quietly (43-54dB) and uses only the power it needs, when it needs it. The advanced humidity control provides a more comfortable indoor environment.
Benefits:
- Cruise Control for Comfort: Similar to cruise control in a car, AccuComfort automatically adjusts speed to maintain your set temperature, conserving energy.
- Always Just Right: Regardless of Mother Nature's changes or your location, AccuComfort ensures your desired temperature is achieved.
- 'Always On' Durability: Internal components benefit from slow and steady operation, reducing wear and tear.
- Energy Efficiency: Takes up to 8X less energy to start and stop compared to frequent cycling. A single-stage system can start/stop up to 72 times in 24 hours, whereas AccuComfort minimizes this. A single-stage compressor can take up to 20 minutes to reach full capacity, while AccuComfort is more responsive.
