The New SEER2 Efficiency Standards in More Detail
The exterior static pressure testing parameters for all HVAC equipment will be increased by a factor of 5 under the new SEER2 testing and rating system to produce a more accurate and realistic testing environment. All HVAC equipment, including gas furnaces, evaporator coils, single-packaged units, air conditioning units, and heat pumps, will be impacted by these modifications.
The new SEER2 efficiency criteria are designed to give HVAC professionals and customers more precise perceptions of a system’s overall performance. The ability to develop more energy-efficient HVAC systems and technologies will follow. Even if they satisfy current SEER ratings, all air conditioning and heat pump systems must be updated by January 1, 2023.
Requirements for SEER2 by Region
The North, Southwest, and Southeast of the country are split into separate regulatory regions. Because each location has a unique temperature and set of heating and cooling requirements, the new SEER2 regulations will likewise have a different impact on each region. Remember that from 2023, certain regions will not permit the installation of HVAC systems that do not comply with the SEER2 requirements.
HVAC experts are urged to conduct in-depth investigation and comprehend how the new SEER2 regulations will directly affect the area where they conduct business.

SEER2 Rules for the North Region
Compliance for the North area, which includes the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Indiana, will be established by the production date of each system. New SEER2 specifications for this area will specifically include:
- Every domestic air system must have a SEER2 value of at least 13.4
- Heat pumps must have a SEER2 rating of at least 14.3
Before January 1, 2023, single-packaged units, heat pumps, and air conditioning systems may still be installed and marketed in the North. After this date, all products must adhere to the new SEER2 standards.
SEER2 Regulations for the Southeast
Texas, Tennessee, and Florida are included in the Southeast region of the nation, which has its own SEER2 standards. These will consist of:
- All household central air systems with a SEER2 value under 14.3 BTUs
- All residential central air conditioning systems must have a SEER2 rating of at least 13.8. 50,000 BTU or more
- All heat pumps must have a SEER2 rating of at least 14.3.
Beginning January 1, 2023, systems that do not comply with these standards may not be marketed or installed in the Southeast region, similar to the Southwest region.
