Do You Need a Reverse Cycle Air Conditioner Or One That Just Cools?

March 18, 2013 by Barney Brisbane Air

When it comes to your home or business, having the appropriate air conditioning and heating solutions are essential. There are a wide variety of heating and cooling solutions available to Brisbane residents, which is one reason why it’s important to work with the right company. Here at Brisbane Air, we have over 30 years of experience helping customers like you!

 

One of the most common questions we receive is, which is better: a reverse cycle air conditioner or one that simply cools?

 

In order to answer that question, you should first know some facts about reverse cycle air conditioners. Reverse cycle units have a refrigeration cycle that can be reversed, resulting in a heating cycle. This means that you can both cool and heat your home or office with the same unit. In almost all cases, these AC/heating units are more energy efficient than electric heaters.

 

With a reverse cycle air conditioning unit, you can heat your home in no time with a simple switch. Of course, you will need to choose the right unit for your particular space, but our knowledgeable sales staff at Brisbane Air can help you do this.

 

If you already own a heater that runs well and you are merely looking for a cooling solution to help you manage the sweltering summer heat here in Brisbane, you may want to choose a unit that just cools. This is probably the most cost effective solution if you do not want to replace the heater you currently use.

 

Keep in mind, however, that you must factor in the cost of maintaining both an AC unit and heater when you have two different units. A reverse cycle air conditioner can save you money in maintenance and repairs.

 

Ultimately, the right residential air conditioning unit depends on your situation. If you are looking for an all-in-one energy efficient solution for your home, then you may want to choose a reverse cycle unit. If your heater is operating well and you just need a cooling solution for your home or business, then you should probably choose a traditional air conditioner.

Customer service ranks second to none

"So nice to find a company whose customer service ranks second to none, from first contact to friendly quote and right through to end of job I was really impressed. At my request, the outside unit of our Mitsubishi inverter air-conditioned was installed up high (Above caravan roof height) and this was done with the brackets and plumbing very neatly secured. The price was extremely competitive, but the thing that struck me most, was the guys who did the install enjoyed what they did and did it with professionalism and enthusiasm. I would highly recommend Brisbane Air to anyone looking to install an air-conditioner!"

Five starRob Duncan

Very polite, very respectful and quite possibly the most considerate workers I have encountered

"Thank you for making my air con replacement and service experience so positive. The five workmen here were on time with a courtesy call when on the way, very polite, very respectful and quite possibly the most considerate workers I have encountered in nearly 30 years of home ownership. They all declined tea and coffee and were a pleasure to have here. I look forward to recommending Brisbane Air as widely as I can."

Five starEm Elle

The installers were magnificent

"Very professional. Had them put in two aircons a few years ago and another one just last week. Friendly people, super clean and tidy and happy to answer any questions thrown at them.They initially come and quote, and would let us know what they think or try to accommodate what we request before installing. In both instances, they have never tried to push their products or hard sell which is very appreciated.The installers were magnificent. Came in, installed and cleaned up before leaving, to the point you wouldn't even know they were here."
