The higher the SEER rating, the greater the savings
Savings — Heating with an all-electric 14 SEER heat pump saves up to 30 percent over natural gas. Because an all-electric, energy-efficient heat pump both heats and cools, it takes the place of both a gas furnace and an air conditioner.
And More Savings — Using less energy benefits all MEC members. Energy efficiency lightens electric utility load, both for the homeowner and all cooperative members, which helps prevent rate increases.
