Cool Down Launches New Smart Control Unit with New Modes

Cool Down, a thermal transfer system that uses naturally stable ground temperatures to cool homes more efficiently, announced the release of the newest version of its Smart Control Unit. Designed to be installed by professionals in just a few hours, the system integrates seamlessly with or without existing HVAC equipment and requires no refrigerants, compressors or external condensers.

New features in the new Smart Control Unit include:

• Estimated savings display: Users can now view their estimated energy savings in real time — helping track ROI and optimize system use.
• Basic heating mode: In addition to summer cooling, Cool Down can now be used in the winter to capture and circulate heat from areas with wood stoves, pellet stoves, mini-splits or south-facing windows.
• Dehumidification mode: Enables AC or heat pump to dehumidify unfinished basement spaces just like the rest of the home — cutting cooling costs while improving indoor air quality.
• Power boost mode: Temporarily prioritizes cooling and dehumidification performance over energy savings — ideal for extremely hot or humid days.
• Eco boost mode: Maximizes energy savings by preventing the AC or heat pump from activating. Especially effective in shoulder seasons or for homes with moderate cooling needs.
• Standalone mode: For homes without ductwork, Cool Down now functions as a central cooling solution on its own. While slightly less powerful than traditional AC, it offers dramatically lower operating costs.
