There are two different cooling stages to air conditioners. This blog will explain the difference between single and two staged cooling in your air conditioner. If you have an older air conditioner chances are that you have a single stage cooling system. With a single stage cooling system, your thermostat turns your air conditioner on and off to maintain a certain temperature in your home. This is not energy efficient at all and oftentimes leads to uneven cooling in your home. With a two stage cooling air conditioner you will have three speeds on it. High speed, low speed, and off will make your air conditioner more efficient when it cools your home. The way a two stage cooling air conditioner cools your home is with the high speed first to bring the home to the right temperature. It then runs on low speed to maintain the desired temperature. This is very energy efficient and you are also way more comfortable. If you are replacing your air conditioner soon Bartlett Heating and Air recommends a two stage operating system.
