You wouldn't think it, but today it's possible, and very economical! Today's modern technology air conditioners are great for both heating and cooling your home. But how does it work in practice?
When cooling, the air conditioner uses the air outside to convert the air into cool air with the help of a heat pump, which is then used by the indoor unit. When heating with air conditioning, the principle is the same, but the air outside is heated by the heat pump instead of cooled by the heat pump and the indoor unit will make the temperature in the home comfortable.
Is it worth it financially?
Many people believe that using air conditioning increases their monthly energy bill, especially if it is also used for heating. However, today's modern air conditioners have excellent energy efficiency, so there's no need to worry about this at all. If we use and maintain our air conditioners properly, we don't have to worry about extremely high electricity bills.
Key benefits:
Not only can heating with air conditioning be cost-effective, it also has many other benefits. One is that it can be installed anywhere, independent of the gas network, and does not require a permit or chimney. Heating with air conditioning is also possible locally, i.e. only those rooms where you spend more time inside the dwelling can be heated. Both indoor and outdoor units can be easily installed, so it is also easier to change the location of the units, even when renovating a house. In addition, one of the best advantages is that it can be used not only for heating, but also for cooling and dehumidification in the summer heat.
One small negative:
There are significantly more advantages than disadvantages to heating with air conditioning, but it is worth knowing these in advance. Heating with air-conditioning is not possible in any kind of cold. Some air conditioners can heat at full efficiency down to -25 degrees Celsius, but this varies from model to model. When heating with air conditioning, moisture in the outdoor tray condenses on outdoor units, which can easily freeze in very cold weather, which can also damage the air conditioner. It is very important to pay attention to this and ask your air conditioning contractor to winterise the unit, otherwise it will be very expensive to replace the air conditioning.
