- SEER2 minimum14.3 SEER2 (Southwest, <45k BTU)
Federal Southwest-region minimum for new split-system AC. Higher tiers cut bills and unlock rebates.
- Load calculationRequired (Manual J)
Sizing by load calc — not rule of thumb — prevents an oversized unit that short-cycles and never dehumidifies.
- RefrigerantR-454B / R-32 (R-410A phased down 2025+)
- Good to know—
CA Title 24 requires HERS-verified duct leakage testing and Manual J sizing on most AC/furnace changeouts
