Why can't I find a heat pump with a good SEER rating? The USA has a
law stating 13 minimum. Yet here in the UK, I looked at Panasonic and
they're all 7 to 11!

Which suggests that the seasonal weighting parameters used in the US ,
Europe and possibly UK are all different which will give very different
figures.

So if he compared the EERs, he'd get a fair comparison between those
sold in the US and UK?

This is the more important question, and you are the OP, but you ignored
it.

What am I supposed to do with the question?* I don't know how SEER and EER are calculated for different countries, whether the country they're measured in is specified etc.


Buy the highest SEER model available to you that you can afford?

Or buy the mid-range model?

Or buy the cheapest one if you're a skinflint.
