Most efficient Air Conditioners

American Standard Allegiance 18
18.90 SEER
Carrier Infinity ($5000 for 3 ton)

2-stage Puron. In reviews, experts say the 18 SEER (higher SEER numbers are more efficient) Carrier is the most advanced high-efficiency central-air unit. It uses the more environmentally friendly refrigerant Puron, not Freon. The Infinity has two speeds, which results in less cycling on and off.

Reviews say the Carrier is the only system in the industry that allows you to also control humidity, air quality, fan speed, and ventilation. The Carrier even announces when the filter needs changing. Carrier includes a ten-year warranty on the compressor and five years on other parts. If you don't need such a high-end system, some Bryant and Rheem models are a bit less efficient, but are significantly less expensive.
