Frequently asked questions

Doesn’t the thermostat do the same job?

The thermostat is designed to maintain the room temperature set point. The thermostat does not analyse the performance of the hardware and will run the compressor until sufficient cooling has been produced to satisfy the required room temperature. However this normally results in overshoot of the set-point. The Aircon Energy Saver does not override the thermostat. It modulates the output of the Air-Conditioning unit preventing overshoot of the thermostat set-point whilst achieving an efficient cooling cycle by utilising the latent cooling characteristics of the air conditioning unit.

What effect does the AES have on room temperature?

None. The thermostat dictates the required room temperature, the AES only removes the inefficient wasteful element of the operation.

Note: Not only does the room temperature remain unchanged, there is a further benefit. The AESwill lessen the dryness of the air due to moisture being removed during the cooling process. This results in a healthier more comfortable working environment.

Surely, the interruption of the run times has a detrimental effect on the compressor?

The AES does not compromise the manufacturers minimum run time requirements which is an in-built safety feature. The AES is programmed to prevent short-cycling within the software. The result is a compressor that will actually run less and reduce wear and tear.
