In countries where temperatures vary, buildings and cars have to be equipped with appropriate equipment to deal with these temperature changes. Extreme temperatures can be harmful not only to humans but also to certain machines so they have to be regulated or controlled. When temperatures rise, the air inside the room needs to be cooled and vice versa. When the months get really cold, a lot of houses and office buildings turn on their electric heaters. However, these heaters consume a lot of electricity. For heating that doesn’t use up electricity as much, the solution is Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning.

    Also known as ‘heat pumps,’ this system works by extracting heat from the air outside and transferring it inside. The unit used in this system has an external coil through which a refrigerant is passed, thereby absorbing heat. This refrigerant then gets pumped through a compressor into a condenser located inside the building; its heat is then released inside.

    One of the biggest benefits from using this system is its low running costs compared to ‘direct element’ heaters such as panel convectors and portable heaters. These direct element heaters use a single unit of electricity for every single unit of heat whereas ‘heat pumps’ transfer up to three units of heat for each unit of electricity. This is excellent both for home and commercial air conditioning when it comes to cost-effectiveness since it only consumes one-third of the electrical power used by other heaters.

    Adding to the advantages of this system is when temperatures begin to climb, it can provide cooling if the refrigerant’s flow is reversed. The system is essentially a two-in-one package. When other electrical equipment tend to heat up especially after long hours of operation, this system remains cool so it would be safe in case it is accidentally touched. One other safety feature is that is has no elements or flames exposed. It also serves to filter and dehumidify air. The system is available as a portable unit, a window or wall unit or split type.

    Don’t worry about temperatures changing when seasons change.

Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning will provide heat when the weather gets chilly and will cool things off when it gets warm.
