"We believe that 13 SEER is but another incremental improvement to equipment efficiency," said Kevin Holland, vice president of business operations and membership. "Equipment with up to 20 SEER has been available for the past half decade, and ACCA continues to promote proper design, equipment selection, and installation, with an eye toward whole-system quality and service. We do this through training at our annual conference, our commercial contracting roundtable, our ongoing technical training in system design, our regular publications, our technical bulletins for members, and our educational brochures for consumers.
"And, perhaps most importantly, we have the quality installation specification that is under development, which will determine if a quality installation is being made, no matter what SEER is being discussed."
