The salesman claimed to me I would save 35% on my heating and cooling portion of my energy bill, not on my energy bill. I spent $103.00 on cooling in June and in October I spent $8.00. This is according to SECO. In the winter months I may not even turn the heat on.
Rule of thumb, The monthly savings per 1.0 unit increase in SEER = 15.6 kWh × $0.14/kWh = $2.20 per month. My present Carrier installed in 2009 is 15 SEER so if I go to a 20 SEER $2.20 X 5 =$11.00 per month. X 12 = $132 per year and for 10 years $1320.00. Is that on the low end or on the high side? I hope that is on the low side. |
Sounds good! What is included with that price? Surge protector? Over/under voltage device? Air filter cabinet? Any other details on what they are doing for that price? Also, are you sure the new unit is 20 seer? From what I can see the 3 and 4 ton units are 23 SEER. What is the model # of the condenser they are estimating?
