There's a lot that makes a difference. In short, efficiency costs more, so a lot of the difference can be attributed simply to concessions manufacturers have to make in construction and materials to meet customer expectations in terms of price.
It's not easy to design and build high efficiency equipment. It usually takes us 2-3 years to launch higher SEER equipment. And the better the unit, the more costly to build...R&D costs, more copper, aluminum, steel, pricey components (compressors, motors,etc.) as well as increased labor costs to manufacturer. The more the government pushes us to increase efficiency ratings, the more expensive it gets for the consumer. Oh, and tariffs are not helping us at this time.
