14 SEER versus 15

A question posed to those who understand SEER ratings and actual cost savings better than I: just how much savings could a homeowner expect in real dollars per year with a 15 SEER system as opposed to 14?

A standard Trane XR14 is listed with these specs:

SEER 14.00


EER 11.50


HEAT CAPACITY 34000


KW 2.67


HSPF 8.2


COP 3.7


A standard Trane XR15 with these:


SEER 15.00


EER 12.50


HEAT CAPACITY 34000


KW 2.49


HSPF 9.5


COP 4.0


The question is, just how significant is the difference between these two systems?

In real dollars, would the homeowner see significantly lower utility bills with the latter?
