14 SEER2 comparison

Start with the 14 efficiency comparison point. Prime verifies which matched systems meet your home’s requirements.

Cooling electricity only. Example inputs; actual savings vary.

This comparison assumes the same cooling load, electricity rate and rating basis. It is not your full utility bill or investment payback. Check The Efficiency Rating Basis.

Starting example: an older system at 10.0 SEER2-equivalent efficiency. Annual cooling electricity: $1,800. Adjust the example below to fit your home.

The older-system baseline is an illustrative assumption, not a measured rating. SEER and SEER2 use different tests. Do not enter a legacy SEER rating as SEER2; ask Prime to verify your comparison or use two ratings under the same standard in custom mode.

How we estimate savings

Selected annual cooling cost = current annual cooling cost × current efficiency ÷ selected efficiency. The example starts with $1,800 a year and an assumed 10 SEER2-equivalent older system. It does not infer your efficiency from equipment age, and it does not convert SEER into SEER2.

The three steps compare 14, 15 and 17 SEER2. They are operating-cost scenarios, not stock or matched-system promises. The 14 point is a comparison baseline, not an offer to install below regional requirements. Your proposal confirms the available Amana S-Series equipment and its AHRI-rated indoor/outdoor match. Heating savings are not included.

Results assume the same cooling load, electricity rate and rating basis. They exclude purchase price, heating, financing, maintenance, rebates and future rate changes. The multi-year result is operating-cost savings, not payback or a guarantee. Installation, ducts, weather, thermostat settings and use affect actual bills.
