Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about SEER to EER, formulas, and typical use cases.

What is the difference between SEER and EER?

SEER is a seasonal efficiency metric over varying conditions, while EER is measured at a specific operating condition.

How is EER approximated from SEER here?

This tool uses a common quadratic approximation to estimate EER from SEER for fast planning comparisons.

Can this replace manufacturer performance data?

No. Use manufacturer submittals for final design; this conversion is a practical estimate.

Why include COP with EER?

COP provides a unitless efficiency comparison and can be useful when comparing international equipment data.
