Add-On Improves Air Conditioner Efficiency
The Cool-n-Save aims to maximize the value of your air conditioner. “It’s an award-winning misting system for residential air conditioning units,” says company representative Des Barkes. “A group of friends created it after noticing how outdoor ambient heat directly affected the performance and power consumption of A/C units. By taking careful measurements, they identified an opportunity to optimize cooling systems.”
By nature, modern central air conditioning systems struggle to keep up in extreme heat, as they can’t transfer their stored heat into the surrounding air. This forces the systems to work longer and harder, which wears them out faster. The Cool-n-Save increases efficiency by releasing ultra-fine water mist into the air, where it evaporates almost instantly and sucks heat from the air in a process called adiabatic saturation. The three misting heads use 1.5 gals. of water per hour, meaning that a 12-hr. run time uses the equivalent water of the average shower in the U.S.
“The Cool-n-Save system reduces A/C energy consumption by up to 30 percent by cooling the air around your A/C unit with water mist, making it easier for the A/C to release heat,” says Barkes. “This process reduces strain on the system, allowing it to use less energy and cool your home more quickly. It’s a simple, cost-effective solution for homeowners seeking to lower their energy bills while maintaining comfort during the hottest months​.”
The company shares that independent, third-party engineering studies prove Cool-n-Save A/C misting can help lower utility bills by $390 per year for the average home. “The savings from just one hot season can be high enough to cover the purchase cost,” says Barkes. Installing the Cool-n-Mist is equally simple. “No tools or electricity are needed,” he says. “The paddle attaches securely to the top of the outdoor condenser units of most A/C systems and connects to a standard garden hose.” Once set up, the Cool-n-Save requires minimal attention, as it automatically activates when the A/C unit is in use.
Barkes says the Cool-n-Mist is popular with eco-conscious homeowners looking to reduce their energy footprint. “It’s been featured in several green energy publications and has received positive feedback from consumers and energy conservation groups. Its success story demonstrates how a small, well-engineered product can make a big difference in residential energy use​.”
The basic unit retails for $119.99 and includes a 1-year warranty. It comes with 20 ft. of hosing (more is available for $19.99) and all necessary connectors. Due to extremely hard water, Cool-n-Save will not sell or ship to Arizona, Nevada or Palm Springs, Calif.
