NORMAN, Okla. - The York® brand of the Unitary Products Group of York - a Johnson Controls Co., recently introduced a DVD and consumer brochure that are designed to help York customers understand the transition to the new 13 SEER minimum efficiency standard.
Both the five-minute DVD and the four-page brochure, "13 SEER What You Need to Know," are directed to homeowners. They begin by defining SEER and describing the components of a home comfort system. The material goes on to explain the importance of matching an indoor coil to an outdoor unit, and the added value a qualified home comfort dealer brings to the process. A discussion about environmentally friendly R-410A refrigerant follows, along with a list of questions that homeowners should ask contractors as they prepare to install a 13 SEER unit.
