The heat tends to get us hot under the collar and due to that we have come to have a little of a love affair with’AC’. When winter rolls around, we float out the electric blankets and brace for the worst. However, what if we told you there is a way to turn the heat up at home without getting bill jolt? How?

The best way to use your air conditioner to get heating

These days, most air conditioners feature reverse cycle technologies, giving you the ease of cooling and heating from one appliance. Many AC units include hot and cold controller manners. So, if you’re feeling a little cold in your home, it is possible to simply change on the heat manner (typically the sun symbol button) on the remote controller of your own air conditioner, set the thermostat to your ideal temperature and sit back as your indoor unit warms the space. Reverse cycle air conditioning is much easier, cheaper and safer to use than mobile heaters that may overload electrical circuits.

What’s reverse cycle air conditioning?

Reverse cycle air conditioning is a system that uses reverse cycle technologies to both heat and cool your house. It’s essentially two systems in one. A reverse cycle air conditioner basically allows you to undo the cooling cycle of your AC unit (hence the title’reverse cycle’) to produce heat rather than cooling. When the inverse cycle unit is on cooling mode, it functions just like a standard air conditioner.

However can reverse cycle ac work?

Instead of using electricity to create heat, reverse cycle air conditioners (also popularly known as heat pumps) simply pump heat from outside air and deliver it indoors. Reverse cycle units produce heat using a refrigerant and external coil to absorb heat from outside that is then pumped via a compressor and to the condenser of the inside unit to warm your house. An additional bonus of reverse cycle air conditioners is that they may also filter and dehumidify the air in your home.

Just how much does it cost to run a reverse cycle air compressor?

For heating purposes, the typical reverse cycle air purifier costs approximately $0.13- $0.36 per hour to operate.

The beauty of a reverse cycle unit, is that it restores more heat than the energy it absorbs. For instance, 1kW of power consumed will generate 3-4kW of heating or cooling system. And believe it or not, a reverse cycle air purifier is much cheaper to run per hour than a microwave ($0.28 — $0.53 each hour
