*The Rheem Air Conditioning Division has introduced a series of new educational pamphlets designed to help home inspectors and their customers better understand and capitalize on the transition to the new 13-SEER minimum efficiency standard taking effect on Jan. 23, 2006. Air **conditioners and condensing units all have a SEER rating (Seasonal Energy **Efficiency Rating). *
*The information in these pamphlets explains what buyers and sellers need to know when purchasing a new home and how the new 13-SEER minimum efficiency standard may affect the energy efficiency of the HVAC system in their new home. The new homebuyer pamphlets are specifically written for new home buyers and those like home inspectors who directly affect the home-buying process. *
*We would like to work with you to help get this important information out to **your home inspector member base. Perhaps you can list a link to our www.13SEERPamphlet.com](http://www.nachi.org/forum/) Web site on your site, place it in Inspector’s **Quarterly, or you may have other areas that might work to best publicize *this important news.
*Thank you in advance for your interest in this information. Attached you **will find a news release and accompanying photo of the pamphlets. Please *feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
