Reverse Cycle Heating and Cooling Melbourne
Reverse cycle heating and cooling is more common in Australia than you’d think, and for good reason. This country is blessed with one of the most comfortable climates in the world, offering warm springs, pleasant autumns and beautifully beach-ready summers, whilst still having the cold winters to bundle up and appreciate the rain. However, this also means that we can’t be sure that we’re going to have the same temperatures year around, and that we’ll need both heating and cooling to stay comfortable year-round. That’s where reverse cycle air conditioners come in.
Can Any Air Conditioner Be Reverse Cycle?
Given the additional processes required to provide heating, the answer is, unfortunately, no, with most units simply being standard cooling systems. This means that they are fantastic in warmer weather conditions, but won’t really offer all that much in terms of heating help. This is why reverse cycle air conditioning systems are well worth the additional investment.
Are there Different Kinds of Reverse Cycle Air Conditioner?
As with any form of air conditioning unit, there will always be different styles and types suited to different situations. For example, there are reverse cycle ducted heating and cooling units which can provide treated air to multiple rooms or spaces at once. There are also larger more industrial units made for commercial purposes.
What Are the Benefits of Reverse Cycle Air Conditioners?
Whilst there are some more obvious benefits that are apparent just from the name alone, these units do offer a wealth of less immediate boons, including:
- Being able to heat and cool your home all from one device.
- The process of drawing heat from the outside air makes reverse cycle heating far more efficient than other means, such as electrical and gas.
- Given the effectiveness of these systems, they use surprisingly little energy in producing heat and cooling.
- Easy installations compared to two separate units for heating and cooling.
- The eco-friendly option when compared with more traditional heating options.
- Quiet comfort: Unlike other more traditional options, reverse cycle ducted heating and cooling, as well as other reverse cycle options, are very quiet.
Should I Get a Standard Reverse Cycle Unit or Reverse Cycle Ducted Heating and Cooling?
There’s no objectively better option when choosing between these two systems, as both will have benefits that the other doesn’t offer:
Reverse Cycle Split System Air Conditioners
These units are fantastic for use in one room and one room only. So, if you need to heat a bedroom or living area, these will absolutely be your best choice, not to mention your most efficient option.
Reverse Cycle Ducted Heating and Cooling Units
As the name suggests, these systems are ducted and are amazing if you need heating and cooling across an entire house or workplace. These units are connected to multiple spaces by vents and all go back to one outdoor-connected system which works similarly to the standard setup.
Whatever you decide to go with, just make sure that you have considered your options and gone for one that works specifically for your needs and requirements.
