If your air conditioner has struggled to keep your home comfortable this summer or if your energy bills have been creeping up, you’re not alone. Many homeowners in Philadelphia, Delaware County, and the surrounding areas are realizing that their old AC systems just aren’t cutting it anymore. The good news? A high-SEER air conditioner can make a world of difference, for your comfort, your wallet, and even the environment.
At Boyle Energy, we’ve been helping families in Havertown, West Grove, and Newtown Square stay cool for decades. Here’s why upgrading to a high-efficiency AC could be one of the smartest decisions you make this year.
What Does SEER Really Mean?
We get this question a lot: “What’s a SEER rating, and why should I care?”
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, which is just a fancy way of measuring how much cooling you get for every bit of energy your AC uses. The higher the number, the more efficient (and cost-effective) your system is. If your unit is 10–15 years old, it might have a SEER rating as low as 8 or 10. Newer models? They can be double that.

Why Homeowners Are Choosing High-SEER Systems?
- Lower Cooling Costs: Simply put, you’ll spend less to stay comfortable. A high-SEER AC doesn’t have to work as hard, which can significantly reduce your summer cooling costs.
- Better Comfort: These systems often come with features like variable-speed compressors, which keep your home at a more consistent temperature (no more big blasts of cold air or uneven cooling).
- Quiet Operation: Many homeowners are pleasantly surprised by how much quieter these units are compared to their old systems.
- Good for the Planet: Using less energy means you’re helping reduce overall demand on the power grid and lowering emissions.
Why Upgrade Now?
If you’ve been putting it off, summer is the best time to make the switch. Older AC units are more likely to break down when they’re working their hardest; which, as we all know, happens on the hottest days in July and August. A summer HVAC upgrade gives you peace of mind knowing your home will stay comfortable without unexpected breakdowns or sky-high bills.
