I think you are off by a factor of 3.412. The SEER rating may be 10, but that means you push 10BTUs per Watt Hour, or 2.9 WH/WH.
I am also assuming that burning NatGas produces electricity about 40% efficiency delivered, and burning it at home for heat is about 80% efficient.
- mikeash 14y agoMy whole life is a lie! Thanks. Never thought people would actually use an efficiency rating where 1 didn't mean 1:1. Now I know better.
