Consistent Cooling

• Because a two-stage air conditioner has both a lower and higher capacity, your home receives more consistent cooling than with other air conditioner options. In milder weather, the unit operates at the lower capacity without shutting off, so your home remains at a steady, cool temperature. When the weather is hotter, the air conditioner switches to the higher capacity to keep your home comfortable and cool even as the temperature rises. The unit has no uncomfortable temperature swings because it features a variable speed motor that slowly adjusts to the home's cooling needs.
  
  

Automatic Adjustment

• With a two-stage air conditioner, you do not need to adjust the unit for sufficient cooling. The unit senses temperature changes and automatically adjusts itself. When the temperature rises inside your home, the unit switches to the higher capacity to meet increased cooling demands within minutes. If the temperature drops, it senses a decreased need and switches over to the lower capacity. You never have to worry about figuring out the ideal temperature or choosing a thermostat setting yourself.
  
  

Lowered Humidity

• The air conditioner is an ideal option for humid climates because it is extremely effective in removing moisture from the air. Its cycles are longer than other air conditioning options, so it can remove four to six times more moisture than traditional single-stage air conditioners. With the moisture removed from the air, your home feels more comfortable and you don't have to worry about moisture damage issues.
  
  

Noise Reduction

• A two-stage air conditioner usually makes less noise than a traditional air conditioner. Its variable speed motor can reduce noise because the unit often runs at a lower capacity. At the lower stage, the motor doesn't run as fast or hard so it is quieter. In addition, a two-stage air conditioner is only at the higher capacity when your home's cooling needs demand it, so you aren't plagued by loud droning constantly.
  
  

Reduced Energy Costs

• One of the most significant benefits of a two-stage air conditioner is lowered energy costs. Because the unit has two stages that adjust, depending on your home's cooling needs, it never expends unnecessary energy. It can run at a lower capacity during milder weather so you use less energy, but your home will remain cool and comfortable. While it has a high initial cost, the efficient operation of a two-stage air conditioner makes it a worthwhile long-term investment if you are looking to cut your energy bills.
