Tips for Running Air Conditioning in Winter

Using Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning for Winter Heating

Air conditioning isn’t just for the summer. When you install reverse cycle air conditioning (also called a heat pump), you can switch from cooling to heating at the touch of a button and enjoy comfortable temperatures all year.

Modern air conditioners use inverter technology to make them as energy-efficient as possible. According to our Aircon expert, Mat Fisher, reverse cycle air conditioning uses 72 percent less electricity than the portable heaters many people rely on in the winter. It’s also safer and doesn’t take up any extra space in your rooms.

Simple Ways to Save on Winter Heating Costs

You can save more on your heating costs and keep your rooms as comfortable as possible this winter when you:

Keep Doors and Windows Closed

Close doors and windows to prevent heat from escaping or dissipating to rooms where it’s not needed.

Use Curtains and Blinds to Retain Heat

Close curtains and blinds to reduce heat transfer through the windows. Denser curtain fabrics and solid blinds trap more heat.

Improve Home Insulation

Insulate your roof and walls to keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Turn Off Heating at Night

Turn off the heating at night. Snuggle up in warm bedding instead.
