Calculate Your HVAC Energy Savings
See how much a high-efficiency system can save you on Dallas-Fort Worth energy bills.
Upgrading to a high-efficiency air conditioning system is one of the smartest investments you can make for your home. With the intense Texas heat, cooling costs account for a massive portion of your summer utility bills. Use our Energy Savings Calculator below to compare your current system against modern, high-efficiency equipment and estimate your potential lifetime savings.

What Is the Difference Between SEER and SEER2?
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) is the standard measurement of air conditioning and heat pump cooling efficiency. The higher the number, the less energy the system uses to cool your home.
In 2023, the Department of Energy introduced SEER2. While the concept is the same, SEER2 testing conditions are stricter and require systems to be tested under higher static pressure, more closely mirroring the real-world conditions of the ductwork in your home. That gives you a more realistic estimate of how a system will perform.
A SEER2 number usually reads a little lower than the SEER number for the same equipment, so a comparison across the two scales is a close estimate rather than an exact one.
How We Calculate Your Savings (2026 Data)
To provide a realistic estimate, the calculator starts with 15.9¢ per kWh, the texas residential average for August 2026 (Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration). Dallas-Fort Worth rates vary by plan, so enter the rate from your own bill for a closer number.
We multiply your system's tonnage by 12,000 BTUs and 2,800 annual cooling hours, divide by the SEER rating to get kilowatt-hours, and then apply your rate.
This is an estimate, not a guarantee. Your actual savings depend on your home, ductwork, thermostat settings, weather, and how the system is installed and maintained. It covers cooling only and doesn't include equipment cost or rebates.
