As winter creeps up on South East Queensland we are all reaching for our jumpers and digging out the heaters. But before you plug in your bar heater, fan heater or radiator, consider using your reverse cycle air conditioner instead. By using your inverter air conditioner to warm up your home or business this winter you are using the most efficient way of heating electrically.
The advantage of inverter heating, as opposed to other styles, is that the air conditioner can vary it's power output to maintain warmth rather than shutting off every time the thermostat reaches the required temperature. This system uses less power than restarting the heating when the temperature drops again.
Heating with a reverse cycle air conditioner
Your reverse cycle air conditioner timer can be set to start the air conditioner in the morning so the house is comfortably warm when you get up. This avoids using excess power having to blast the heating for a short period until the house warms up. This function can also be used to ensure your home is warm when you get in from work. Some modern systems can be controlled by an app on your phone or tablet which takes home comfort to a whole new level.
Less power consumption = less CO2. Making inverter reverse cycle air conditioning an environmentally sound choice for home heating.
Minimise your home heating costs
As well as using reverse cycle air conditioning to heat your home here are a few simple tips for staying warm when the temperature drops.
- Minimise the area to be heated - close adjoining doors to avoid wasting heat in unused rooms.
- Insulate your ceiling and walls - ensuring your warmth stays inside where it is needed.
- Close the curtains or blinds - a lot of heat is lost through the glass in winter.
- Block draughts - seal up any areas which allow draughts such as under doors and around windows.
