Energy Saver Mode most likely shutdown the compressor and Fan Only will be running to recirculate Ambient air into the room.
Make sure there is no Port or Vent that is open on your unit and would let hot air from outside be mixed in with the ambient air especially if it is hot outside.
Also refer to the troubleshooting section of your owner's manual.

probably on the specification decal attached to the unit
it could also be the form to say that it was installed according to local regulations and manufacturers specifications
if you cannot find it , ring the person who did the installing
Hi,
Many have sepaarate speeds for heating and cooling....check it out there should be a heat relay and a cool relay and the motor taps are hooked to each so maybe you can just do a bit of switching wires.....
But, really you probably will have plenty of air flow for the cooling side also if your running that low of a differential on the heating side...
Try it out the worst that can happen is that you will freeze up on the cooling and then you can just switch it back...
The real question is, am I going to get 14 seer using the old coil with the new condencer.If it is using r-22 then the old txv should work,but the old coil is proboby rated at 10 seer . since these were never tested together you would probobly see a minimal gain in efficency.Now if it is a matched set(ahri rated) you with definently get you 14 seer.Hope that helps!
A 23 year old unit will be a major energy hog.You will see a massive improvement even with a less efficient unit,but go with the energy efficiency.The price of fuel is going to keep going up,and you will be using the furnace for many years.I'm in Ohio,and we get by just fine on electric for the very rare occasion the temperature drops below the level where the heat pump cant keep up.If this really worries you,you can put a couple space heaters back for emergency.Of course your talking about a gas unit,or a dual fuel unit.The dual fuel would be your best bet of course for ultimate fuel efficiency,but they can be pricey for the ones with all the bells,and whistles.Some will even use the fuel that is less expensive at any given time throughout the day.For example in some circumstances electricity is more expensive during the day then at night.Ultimately you have to figure out how much energy you use on average to heat your house.If you know the efficiency of the unit you have now you can estimate the actual output energy that is actually needed to heat/cool your house.Which would be the effective output of the old unit.Figure out how much less energy input you will need with a more efficient unit to get the same average output as the old unit.Subtract the energy usage for the new unit from the average energy use from the last winter.This will be your approximate energy savings.This should give you some Idea of the energy savings.
