In reality though, it is.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_One_Type_of_AC_Unit_Fan_Motor_Recommended_Over_the_Other\"><\/span>Why Is One Type of AC Unit Fan Motor Recommended Over the Other?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Essentially a single-stage AC unit only has one speed. It will turn on, immediately power up to full capacity, and shut down when thermostat requirements are met. Therefore, it will actually operate less than its counterpart. While this may seem preferable to a variable speed unit that operates at lower settings for a longer period of time, in actuality, it is not.<\/p>\n<p>On\/off cycles are very hard on an AC unit and they are a substantial power drain, additionally, the more frequently they occur, they do not condition the air as well. A variable speed motor that runs longer but at lower speeds has more time to remove humidity from the room and spread cooled air while consuming less power. Plus, the consistency of a variable speed motor creates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/zoned-cooling-solutions\/\">zoned cooling<\/a> capabilities.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Single-Stage_and_Variable_Speed_AC_Unit_Price_Points\"><\/span>Single-Stage and Variable Speed AC Unit Price Points<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hvac-10.jpg\" alt=\"Buying an AC Unit\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-26\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Often times many consumers are turned away by the higher initial costs of a variable speed AC unit in comparison to a single-speed model. However, they are not seeing the long term big picture. For one, lower utility bills from turning on and off less will pay back the price differential in a few short years. Variable speed components also have a tendency to last longer because they are operating in a more controlled manner. Finally, variable speed AC units create a more comfortable home that is less apt for mold and mildew growth \u2013 a benefit worth the price difference itself.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_the_Best_New_AC_Unit_with_Help_from_Galmiche_Sons\"><\/span>Choose the Best New AC Unit with Help from Galmiche &amp; Sons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are in the market for a new AC unit, call the experts at Galmiche &amp; Sons Heating &amp; Cooling in St. Louis today.
