Definition 1: EER, energy efficiency ratio: Is the measure of air conditioner efficiency at maximum air conditioning load. It is measured by ratio of Btu/hour of cooling or heating load, to watts of electrical power input. The unit is in Btu hr-1 W-1. Definition 2: SEER, seasonal energy efficiency ratio: The measurement units of SEER is exactly the same as EER, but the difference lies in the data used for the measurement. Values for SEER, is determined through averaging readings of different air conditions, to represent air conditioner efficiency throughout the season.
1 For patients not covered by health insurance, an EEG typically costs $200-$700 or more for a standard EEG -- or up to $3,000 or more if extended monitoring is required. 2  For example, Garden City Hospital in Michigan charges $749 for an EEG, but offers the test for $199 through a special program for uninsured patients.
