kWh (Kilowatt-hour)
A unit of energy equal to the work done by one kilowatt (1,000 watts) of power acting for one hour. This is the standard unit utility companies use to bill you.
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio)
Measures the cooling efficiency of an air conditioner or heat pump. The higher the SEER number, the more efficient the system is at converting electricity into cooling power.
BTU (British Thermal Unit)
A unit of heat; it is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. For ACs, it indicates cooling power.
Payback Period
The time it takes for the financial savings from an investment to equal the cost of the investment. A shorter payback period is generally better.
