What is a two stage Air Conditioner or Heat Pump?
A two stage air conditioner or heat pump utilizes two stages of cooling and heating as needed. With a two stage air conditioner or heat pump, the system will run on low stage at approximately 50% capacity most of the time. When the low stage needs help to maintain the temperature in the home the high stage will come on. High stage is used only when needed to maintain the temperature in the home. In turn, the two stage air conditioner or heat pump will use less energy to operate thus lowering utility bills. The addition of a variable speed blower to the indoor section is the ultimate in home cooling and heating efficiency.
