Air conditioning systems are given a particular SEER rating which stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It describes how much cooling the system produces during a season and how much energy it uses to do so. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the system is.B Many manufacturers submit their equipment to a third party, independent testing organization called the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigerant Institute (AHRI) so that their customers know that their claims about the SEER rating are valid.
Central air conditioning systems are often referred to as bsplitb because they use an indoor evaporator unit and an outdoor condensing unit. Many of these units receive their SEER rating based on the operation of both the indoor and outdoor unit. These systems are called bmatchedb because they are designed to work with each other and not with any other brand or type of unit.
If you want to know if your particular air conditioning system is matched, you can ask your air conditioning contractor for the AHRI certificate which will have the Certified Reference Number. AHRI keeps a database and the number can be used to find your unit there.
