SEER is a ratio that compares the cooling output to the electrical energy consumed. Unlike the simpler Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER), which measures efficiency at a fixed peak temperature, SEER accounts for seasonal temperature fluctuations. : Measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs). Energy Input : Measured in watt-hours (Wh). The Formula : SEER vs. SEER2: What Changed?
Since January 1, 2015, the Department of Energy (DOE) has enforced regional standards for central air conditioners. The minimum SEER rating required for a new installation depends on where you live: seasonal energy efficiency ratio
As of January 1, 2023, the testing procedures for SEER have been updated to . SEER is a ratio that compares the cooling
Think of SEER like the rating for your car. Just as a car with higher MPG goes further on a gallon of gas, an AC unit with a higher SEER rating provides more cooling using less electricity. Energy Input : Measured in watt-hours (Wh)
If you live in a northern climate where you only run the AC for two months a year, the energy savings of a 22 SEER unit might take 20 years to offset the higher purchase price. However, if you live in a hot, humid climate like Florida or Texas, a high SEER rating can pay for itself in just a few seasons. The Bottom Line

I wrote this program after severe frustration of having my layout trashed every time I switched screen resolutions. Sometimes other programs will switch screen size and trash your layout as well. This program is an answer to this problem, and I thought other people might find it useful too.
TIP: Even with Desktop restore installed, does Windows seem to scramble your icons now every time you reboot, or press F5 to refresh? If so, after you restore your icons the way you want them, manually move one icon a space or two over and then move it back. After that Windows should remember their placement for a much longer time.

This tiny application operates as a Shell extension. It records the layout and positions of icons and programs on the Windows Desktop, and permits restoration of the layout. It appears to operate correctly under Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
