The Cool Down system uses your basement as a natural heat sink. The Cool Down system moves warm temperature from your living space into your basement using your return duct. At the same time a heat exchanger (which we install as part of the system), exchanges cool temperatures with the basement, moving that cool temperature into your living space, and cooling off your home. For more information, please review our blog post here.

The Cool Down system is the most efficient way to cool your home without using AC condensers or heat pumps. Our system uses the naturally cold temperature of your basement as a source of cooling for your home. On top of that, Cool Down has a much lower upfront install price, starting at just $5,000. In addition, Cool Down’s operating costs are considerably less than that of a traditional cooling system. For more information on how Cool Down compares to other systems check out our blog post here.

Of course! Our patented technology uses a heat exchanger to move cool basement temperatures in your living space. This means no actual basement air is being moved upstairs, only the cool temperature. For more information on how this works, please review this blog post here.

Yes! Our heat exchanger has a builtin dehumidification system (similar to that of a traditional AC condenser) that will dehumidify the air in your living space.

Yes! Cool Down works great with an existing Central AC cooling system. When you install Cool Down you get the benefit of not having to run your AC condenser nearly as much as you used to. We estimate that a typical homeowner will save 67% on their cooling bills after installing Cool Down because their AC condenser will not have to work nearly as much to keep your home cool.

We estimate that an average home will save between $600-800 per cooling season with a Cool Down system, that’s a 6-7 year payback on your investment.

Yes. Cool Down can be even more efficient in finished basements as long as you have ducts originating in your basement.

In some rare cases houses with finished basement and no ducts are not a fit for Cool Down. We can access your home’s compatibility via a free virtual consultation with our team.

As long as your basement isn’t finished we can work to install the necessary components to make a Cool Down system work in your home – keep in mind that this will require additional work and will affect the price of the system. We estimate that the additional cost will be ~$2,000, that’s on top of a Cool Down system cost of $5,000.

Absolutely! Cool Down will help to cool your conditioned space and take most of the workload off the mini-splits. The thermostat in the mini-split will simply call for it to turn off sooner than it otherwise would and that will add up to serious savings over the life of the system.
