You want to know how to do the math between SEER on systems and see if they really save money compared to cost. Here is a simple video showing the comparison.
People tend to get tied up in the numbers game always shooting for higher and higher efficiencies for a system. Most of the time it does not pencil out, and I would much rather have the customer improve their insulation, duct work and envelope. When I do a load calculation on a home I can do what if's that can show the savings. Every time I do the what if's windows can reduce the equipment down a whole ton, which costs less and to purchase and run. In addition, insulation can also drop down the size of the unit needed, again saving on cost to purchase and run. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you for this video. I suspected that a higher seer isn't worth it. The math was very well laid out so I can run it on my end depending on my kw rates and days of sun
Send me an email and I will send you a spread sheet that you can just plug in the rates and size of the equipment, with the SEER my email address is baileysair@sbcglobal.net. Where do you live?
@@stephenb3402 In your case the payback is never there because what you pay a kilowatt is so low. However, not knowing exactly where you live I figure you could use numbers from Bakersfield California which is 2634 which is similar climate to Texas in most locations. Plug that number in instead of 1159 that I use for Modesto.
Thank you Mitchell.
Great advice! Thanks Mitch!
