Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning: Cool Your Home In Summer

Reverse cycle air conditioning allows you to cool your home in summer and heat it in winter. It gives you complete control over your home’s climate, eliminating the need for separate coolers and heaters.

The most popular type of reverse-cycle air conditioners are split system units. They consist of an indoor unit that blows air into the room and an outdoor compressor and evaporator connected by refrigerant piping.

Energy Efficiency

Reverse-cycle air conditioners are one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat and cool your home. They can be 300% to 600% efficient in converting electrical energy into heating and cooling energy.

When your reverse cycle air conditioner is in cooling mode, it draws warm air into the indoor unit via a fan. It passes over evaporator coils containing refrigerant, which evaporates into a low-pressure, cool gas. This cold gas is then pumped outside through a separate vent, blowing cooler air into your room.

The best way to make the most of your reverse cycle air conditioning is to set it at a temperature between 18 and 20 degrees in winter and 25 and 27 degrees in summer. Using it at the highest setting will likely increase power consumption and make your home uncomfortable. It’s also essential to ensure your air conditioning system has the suitable kW capacity for the size of your room.

Air Purifying Technology

Many reverse-cycle air conditioners use advanced technology to purify your home’s air. For example, Panasonic’s ECONAVI range of wall-mounted split system residential air conditioning uses nanoe-G to purify the air in your home, keeping it healthy and free from dust mites, bacteria, mould, and viruses.

Reverse cycle air conditioning is also energy efficient – studies show that for every unit of electricity they use, they move three units of heat, making them better for the environment and your wallet. They’re also more effective than electric bars and oil heaters for heating your home.

When choosing a reverse cycle air conditioner, ensure it’s appropriately sized for your home for optimum performance and efficiency. Ask your installer for an onsite load assessment and calculation, or consult online calculators. It will help you avoid a system that’s too small or too large, which may lead to poor performance and high operating costs.

Streamer Technology

Whether building from scratch or renovating, installing a reverse-cycle air conditioner is a smart option for your home. It provides you with the ultimate in comfort, savings and energy efficiency. A specialist dealer will help you decide on the perfect sized system for your household and will install it with skill and care.

These units can be either ducted or split. They can cool your home in summer and warm it quickly during the chilly winter months. They are an efficient method of heating and cooling your home in Australia, reducing energy consumption.

Many reverse cycle systems also feature a built-in air purifier that helps reduce odours, mould and bacteria in your home. It is particularly useful for people with asthma or hay fever and can significantly improve indoor air quality. The Streamer technology in Daikin’s Zena and Alira X split systems also helps to reduce dust mites, which is great news for allergy sufferers.

Versatility

Unlike fans that push warm air around or evaporative coolers that are not excellent, reverse cycle systems remove humidity and create cool air to circulate throughout your home or room. It allows you to sleep comfortably and relax during the heat of summer. For more information about the reverse cycle air conditioning, click here.

Modern ducted reverse cycle air conditioning systems also feature a DC inverter that operates like an automatic transmission, increasing power to reach and sustain the desired temperature quickly. It eliminates on/off cycling and saves you money in the long run. One system provides cooling and heating for your entire home. It means no more having to pay for two different methods and managing their separate remotes and thermostats – this setup is cost-effective, convenient and easy to use all year round.
