13 SEER: New Federal mandate affects homeowners with air conditioners
Central air conditioners are rated according to their Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER), the higher the SEER the more efficient the air conditioner. The current national efficiency standard for air conditioning systems took effect in 1992, requiring a minimum SEER of 10. New standards, set to take effect on January 23, 2006, will raise the SEER requirement to 13, an efficiency improvement of 30%. Overall the changes are good for the environment and increase consumer's peace of mind by improving comfort and indoor air quality.
How is Old Republic Home Protection addressing the 13 SEER issues for our EXISTING Plan Holders?
We are concerned about the impact the new law will have on our clients. Although the law will also have a huge financial impact on the Home Warranty Industry, we want to ensure our clients receive the best coverage possible.
Old Republic Home Protection will NOT increase the cost of the Plan to our EXISTING Plan holders.
