In a bid to try and alleviate some of the pressure on the power plants, your utility has to introduced a new incentive scheme to try and persuade customers to purchase new highly efficient air conditioning units. These units are designed to provide better cooling using less energy, which in turn reduces the load on the plants, and ultimately means fewer to no power cuts in high demand times. And of course, it will lead to lower electricity bills too.
There the Utility have introduced an incentive where anyone purchasing certain air conditioners, are eligible to receive a rebate. There are conditions to this rebate, and they are:
1. The air conditioner bought must be a complete high efficiency unit. This includes both the inside and outside air conditioning components.
2. The rating of the air conditioner must have a minimum rating of 14 on the SEER scale (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating).

The advantages of this offer are obvious. A superior air conditioning system which will keep you cooler, and cost less to run. For example, a SEER rated air conditioner of 10 will cost around $710 per year to run (at 24,000 btu/h). A SEER rated unit of 20 will cost half that price at $360 per year. A SEER rating of 14 will cost $510 per year to run. These are the costs for the smallest air conditioners. These costs will obviously be greater for larger units.
