A reverse cycle air conditioner is a device that can both heat up and cool down your home. This is possible because the refrigeration process can be reversed, meaning it’s able to circulate warm air in winter and cold air in summer.
As 2-in-1 systems, reverse cycle air conditioners take up much less space in your home compared to separate AC and heating units. But perhaps one of the greatest advantages of these systems is that they are very efficient, transferring up to three or more units of heat from every unit of electricity used during their operation.
Their energy efficiency is also a huge advantage at a time when energy prices are rising across the world. Plus, because the system uses heat absorbed from the air of its surroundings rather than consuming fuel, it’s typically cheaper to run compared to gas and electric heaters.
Some other benefits of reverse-cycle air conditioners include:
- They remain cool to touch at all times, making them safe around children and pets
- There are no exposed elements or flames
- They have a lifetime of up to 20 years, so the upfront cost is worth it
- They filter and dehumidify air, helping to create a comfortable living environment
