SEER is a rating for air conditioners. It stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. A SEER for an air conditioning unit is determined in a laboratory. To determine the rating, the laboratory measures the efficiency the unit achieves after running for 15 minutes. So, if your unit does not run at least 15 minutes at a time, it will never achieve the full efficiency of its rating.
