Want to keep cool in summer but warm in winter? Here’s why a reverse cycle air conditioner might be the most affordable option.
Blessed with one of the most diverse climates in the world, Australians have been quick to recognise and utilise the benefits of reverse cycle air conditioning systems.
Allowing users to cool their homes in summer and warm their homes in winter, all from the same energy-efficient unit, reverse cycle air conditioners are known for their efficiency, which is at the forefront of their design.
Considered by some as a good investment in comfort and health, one of the many benefits of reverse cycle systems is that they are adapting to the times, and as electricity prices continue to rise, their efficiency even in the most extreme conditions is second to none, with every one kW of electricity consumed in some systems generating three or more kW of heating or cooling.
With Australians currently spoilt for choice when it comes to options for their home and lifestyle requirements, the experts at National Product Review (NPR) have narrowed it down to a few of their favourite reverse cycle picks.
