What is it?

Ducted reverse cycle air conditioners are systems that have been designed to provide both heating and cooling functionalities. They can both heat up your home during cooler months, and cool down your home when the Adelaide heat gets to be a little too much.

This multi-purpose functionality of these systems means that they tend to be quite popular, as they stay useful throughout all phases of weather each year. Buyers tend to gravitate towards these systems, opting to spend their money on one system that does it all, rather than one heating unit and a separate cooling unit.

How does it work?

Reverse cycle air conditioning cools your home efficiently during hotter seasons, whilst also being able to warm your home in the colder seasons. The South Australian climate changes quite a lot throughout the year, which is why a reverse cycle air conditioning system would be a wise investment for your home.

These air conditioners work using the following process;

  • Fan draws in warm or cool air from outside. During this part, air gets drawn into the air conditioning unit, and then passed over a coil that is filled with refrigerant.
  • Heat or cool is absorbed and sent to your home. This part of the process is what is done to ensure the perfect temperature is provided to your home- controlled via a remote and set to any desired temperature.
  • Warmed refrigerant heads to the compressor. Once the air has been pushed inside the refrigerant, it is turned into a high-temperature gas, and pumped to a heat exchanger outside the home to cool down and change back into a liquid.
  • Refrigerant heads to an expansion component. This is the final stage of the heating or cooling process, and works to lower the pressure of the liquid so that it absorbs more heat.

Benefits

As any homeowner would know, there are a bunch of costs that come along with heating or cooling a household. There are often many separate costs for water, heating or electricity and it can be slightly overwhelming to keep up with at times. If you decide to purchase a reverse cycle air conditioning system, you will have one system rather than two, ensuring that the costs of heating and cooling are combined throughout the entirety of your time with this system. By combining your heating and cooling system into one machine, it simply gives you one less thing to worry about when running your household and ensuring comfort of all household members and guests. Reverse cycle systems provide all round comfort that other systems simply cannot bring.
