Inverter AC for Heating - Estimated Electricity Bill
We are accustomed to utilizing our air conditioners to cool our homes specially during the harshest months of summer. However, an inverter air conditioner works wonders to heat your property by producing warm air.
The compressor in a typical air conditioner will turn on and run continuously until the desired temperature is reached. After that, it will turn off until the temperature drops. It will then turn back on and repeat the same process.
The "inverter" technology in air conditioners was created as a solution to this inefficiency. With an inverter system, the compressor spins constantly, varying its speed, to obtain the required temperature (as opposed to turning on and off at full power).
It is widely believed that inverter AC units are among the most effective solutions for heating since they consume less energy compared to other heating devices.
Try out our tool for an estimate on how much it will cost to install and run inverter AC units to heat your property.
