If you live in an area in which you need air conditioning most of the year, then you need to check into the benefits of two stage air conditioning. The addition of another stage to your system will help to make you more comfortable and help your system to use less electricity.
Cooling your house is a necessity for many people all year long. For these areas the addition of a second stage to you system will give you a much more comfortable system. The ability of the unit to run at a lower output will also save on the electric bill.
When your air conditioning system is running at a lower output you will either have your compressor running at a lower speed or you will only have one compressor running instead of two. The refrigerant is still going through the same size coil so it is taking every bit of the cool out of the gas before it is returned to the compressor. The indoor blower is running at a lower speed which saves electric also. The result is that you are running your air conditioning system at a super high efficiency.
Next consider that often in cool rainy weather you still need a little bit of cooling. But your single stage system runs at full output and shuts down very quickly. The result is that you have a cool wet house. The system does not run long enough to take the humidity out of the air in your house. By running your system at a lower output for a longer time over the same size coil you give the system the time it needs to dehumidify the air in your home.
When considering the replacement of your existing air conditioning or installing a new system, make sure that you take a look into a two stage system. The benefits will be a more comfortable environment both in lower humidity and less overshoot of the temperatures in the home. The extra money you spend will soon be forgotten with your more comfortable home, and the money you save will help to pay off the initial cost rather quickly.
