Nearly half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling. So making smart decisions about your home's heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system can have a big effect on your utility bills — and your comfort.

Central AC FAQs
What is a high-efficiency central air conditioner?
A high-efficiency central air conditioner is a cooling system designed to use less electricity while delivering consistently comfortable temperatures. These systems often feature advanced compressors, variable-speed technology and higher SEER2 ratings, helping homeowners reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills. Find out more about SEER2 ratings.
How do I know if a high-efficiency AC system is right for my home?
If your current air conditioner is more than 10 years old, requires frequent repairs or struggles to keep your home comfortable, upgrading to a high-efficiency system may be a smart investment. A TVA-vetted member of the Quality Contractor Network can evaluate your home’s size, insulation, ductwork and cooling needs to recommend the best solution.
What does SEER2 mean?
SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2) measures how efficiently an air conditioner cools your home in real-world conditions. The higher the SEER2 rating, the more energy-efficient the system. Higher-efficiency units generally cost more up front but can provide significant savings on energy costs over time. You can get your SEER2 FAQ here.
Will a high-efficiency air conditioner lower my energy bills?
They certainly should! High-efficiency systems use less electricity to produce the same amount of cooling, and many homeowners experience noticeable reductions in summer energy costs. Actual savings depend on factors such as your current system’s efficiency, local climate, home size, air sealing and insulation levels, and usage patterns.
Do high-efficiency air conditioners improve indoor comfort in the Southeast?
Many high-efficiency systems offer more consistent temperatures throughout the home, quieter operation, improved airflow and enhanced humidity control. These features can help eliminate hot and cold spots while creating a more comfortable indoor environment.
How long does a high-efficiency central air conditioner last?
With proper installation and regular maintenance, a high-efficiency central air conditioning system can last 15 to 20 years or more. Annual tune-ups and regular filter changes can help maximize performance and extend the life of the equipment.
