Hyderabad, 05 May 2011 - Industry Experts, a multi industry focused market research firm, has today announced the industry's first and the only exclusive market research report on 'Central Air Conditioning' in the United States.

The top 25% of efficient central air conditioning (CAC) models can bear the 'ENERGY STAR' label, and, to be eligible, they have to have a minimum SEER level of 14. In addition, the minimum Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) levels for Energy Star split system models must be 11.5 and for Energy Star single-package models must be 11.0. Air conditioners bearing the Energy Star label can be two time more efficient than some existing units. Consumption of energy by the current range of air conditioners is 30%-50% lower than air conditioners of the 1970s for producing the same amount of cooling.
