Is sere disappearing? We're going to talk about that right now: hey guys, Josh, burger, Finnair serving the middle Peninsula and the Northern Neck wanted to do a quick video because there's always been kind of this misnomer and the heating and air industry, and that is revolving around how efficient systems Are and how they're rated and all of that so for the longest time and and even still currently, during the making of this video, the number that most companies and even customers use to describe how efficient a system is, is seer s, EE, R, seer and that's It stands for seasonal energy efficiency ratio, and that number is kind of a it's like a number that the government attaches to that system kind of just to describe how efficient it is just kind of like you know, a car that you buy. It may have a number attached for the gas mileage doesn't necessarily mean that that's exactly how efficient it is just like with a car. You know there's a lot of variables: maintenance, how much you drive it, what kind of driving you're doing doing a highway or city? You know things like that same thing with heating and air, and and because of that, the industry as a whole is looking at other options, there's already a eer and they're. I heard recently there's gon na be a C or two rating, but let me break this down for you a little bit, because I think it's important to understand that seer, you know.

Ultimately, it is, you know, a good measurement kind of, and what I mean by that is the way they factor in seer and they're deciding what that number is that should be attached to it. Is they do a bunch of different measurements and they're measuring how efficient it is when it's running at a hundred percent capacity, and the reason that's important to know is you know when you're talking about different types of systems, they're not all created equal? So, for example, we have a system, that's teen, Cyr, its inverter compressor, a variable-speed blower all that stuff, and that is not necessarily if, when you're, comparing apples to apples the same as all 17 seer systems, if you know what I'm saying so, for example, we also Sell another system - that's 17 seer a different brand, but that system has a multi-stage compressor is actually a two-stage compressor. So when you're comparing apples to apples, they actually don't compare if that makes sense, so keep in mind when you're talking about say well, let's just talk about the different compressors. I did a whole different video about different stages and things like that.

But I'll do a really quick synopsis on it. When you're talking about a single stage system, it's either off or it's on and and it's running at a hundred percent capacity single stage. There's no in-between if you're talking about a multi stage unit say like a two or three stage: compressor, there's going to be stages to that so like it could be running at 70 % in first stage and a hundred percent and second stage or you know, vice You know some variation of that, but the cool thing with inverter technology and it's it's actually way more common now than it used to be I'd, say if, if we were having this conversation five or ten years ago, inverter technology, I would have to probably sit down And explain to you exactly what's going on, but now you know most people are they're used to seeing it they're getting more and more used to you know a variable-speed blower motor they're. You know they in the old days their drapes would fly open when the furnace would come on, and then you put in a variable speed system and they they would think something's wrong.

Well, it's just barely blowing now, but now folks are getting more and more used to you know: whisper quiet systems variable speed, inverters, you know technology and things like that. And so the point is, you know single stage. There's you know on or off multi stage. There's some in-betweens, but inverter technology or different brands have different verbage for it, but essentially there's a there's going to be a lot of in between and it's gon na be ramping up and ramping down.

Based on how well you know, what's going on how what's the load, how fast does it need to run things like that, and so there will be times when that's just barely running. You know it's only running at thirty percent capacity just barely running on. It's still removing moisture from the house on a hot summer day and it's still keeping the house nice and cool, but it's not having to draw tons of energy there's. No, the you know it's not kicking on with these big spikes and energy, and things like that.

So currently, as still as during the making of this video sear is a lot of times. The number that we use to talk about how efficient it is a system is but just realize, not all systems, even though that seer number may be the same they're. Not all created equal, you need to look at a little bit more than that. You know.

Is it a multi-stage compressor or is it a inverter? You know system or whatever.
