I believe
that the EER is how many btu's of cooling an A/C can provide for each KW of electricity used. The math should be pretty simple to figure out your savings.

Pretty much....
EER is BTU/hr output divided by Watts input. Not kW. That would have been pretty obvious when you went to do the math, but I thought I'd mention it.
Anyway, EER1/EER2 = Watts2/Watts1, assuming the BTUH output is the same.
Now all you need to do is figure out how many BTU's you go through in a given year, convert it to kWh, convert that to dollars and you've got it.
Provided you say it really quickly like that, it sounds easy.0 -
jim based on what you're saying. the savings would be 20%
10.9 eer/13.6 = .80. is it that straight forward?
thanks, jay0
