SEER2 requirements in the Southwest
Since the 2023 federal efficiency standards took effect, Arizona sits in the Southwest region, which enforces its own minimum ratings at the point of installation. A new split system under 45,000 BTU (roughly 3.5 tons and smaller) must be rated at least 14.3 SEER2. Systems at or above 45,000 BTU must be rated at least 13.8 SEER2.
This matters to your budget because the old builder grade equipment that used to set the entry price can no longer be installed here. The baseline system Scottsdale homeowners can legally buy is more efficient, and it costs more than the pre 2023 entry tier. Expect the lowest legitimate quote to start higher than older price guides suggest, and treat any unusually cheap bid as a reason to ask for the exact model and SEER2 rating in writing.
Stepping above the minimum is optional. Higher SEER2 and variable speed equipment raises the equipment cost but lowers summer run cost, which is why we show Good, Better, and Best pricing rather than one number.
