Trane 13-SEER to 19-SEER Units: A Wise Investment
Like many other appliances, such as your washer and dryer or refrigerator, the cost of your indoor comfort system includes not only its initial price, but also—and perhaps more important—the cost of running and maintaining your system. This means that the cooling and heating equipment and controls that you select will continue to impact your finances for as long as you live in your home.
In fact, according to the State of Florida Building Energy Rating System, the annual cooling and heating costs of a typical Florida home account for more than 42% of its total power costs.
In effect, your indoor comfort system is the only part of your home that can actually pay for itself while providing you with the added benefits of increased comfort and quieter operation.
The Impact of SEER Rating on Energy Costs
For every $100 you spend to cool your home using an older 10-SEER system, you would spend considerably less using a new system of 13 SEER or higher. For example, if your annual cooling costs were $1,000 with a 10-SEER system, they could be reduced to $710 with a 14-SEER system.
Regularly scheduled professional maintenance is also crucial to maintaining your system's maximum efficiency. Keeping your equipment clean by using an electronic or mechanical air cleaner will also help maintain your system's optimum performance.

Other Energy Efficiency Factors
It's not the heat; it's the humidity!
When cooling during the warm humid months, you will feel more comfortable at a higher temperature if the humidity level in your home is kept between 40% and 60%. This will help keep your energy costs low. The best way to reduce and control humidity in your home is with a variable-speed air handler and thermidistat.
Why heat or cool when you're not there?
With zoning or programmable thermostats, you can control your equipment according to your family's lifestyle and daily schedules. This saves energy by not having to cool or heat areas in your home that are unused or unoccupied.
