How to calculate seer annual energy use

This calculator estimates annual energy use for a cooling system by dividing annual cooling output by its SEER rating.

How the calculation works

Annual energy use (thousand kWh) = Annual cooling output (BTU) ÷ SEER rating ÷ 1000.

Example

30,000,000 BTU of annual cooling output at SEER 16: 30,000,000÷16÷1000 ≈ 1,875 kWh.

Frequently asked questions

Pro Tips for SEER Annual Energy Use

  1. Higher SEER ratings mean more cooling output per unit of energy consumed — comparing annual energy use between different SEER ratings shows the real efficiency benefit.
  2. Annual cooling output depends on climate, home size, and thermostat settings — use a realistic estimate specific to your situation rather than a generic figure.

Common SEER Annual Energy Use Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using a generic annual cooling output figure without adjusting for your specific climate and home characteristics, which significantly affects real energy use.
