What are Reverse Cycle Split Systems?

Reverse cycle air conditioners offer both cooling and heating with a single unit. The default mode operates like a standard air conditioner, blowing cool air into your home. When you convert it to heating mode, the cycle inside the appliance reverses. The evaporator coil transforms into the condenser coil, and the outside condenser unit transforms into the evaporator air, forcing cold air outdoors. The reverse cycle air conditioner can be ducted or split and our team will be able to advise you on which option is right for your home.

Cost to Buy and Install

The size and kind of system you want, the quantity of cabling and piping needed, and the time required for installation will all affect the price of a reverse cycle air conditioner. The most efficient systems are also often the most expensive.

Larger, more powerful split reverse cycle systems can cost up to $3000, while smaller, less expensive ones can cost between $600 and $1000. Air conditioning systems with ducted reverse cycles will probably cost more than $5000. Depending on their size and complexity, split systems in Geelong might require installation over the course of two days or more.

Cost to Run

Compared to many other types of home equipment, air conditioners have a higher operating cost per hour of roughly 50 cents. Yet, you'll save money on your air conditioner's operating costs if you choose equipment with a higher energy efficiency rating (more stars). The frequency of use, temperature setting, and size of the room being cooled will all affect how much it costs to operate.

Also, solar energy system owners will spend substantially less. Top tip: increase the temperature by two degrees to lower your air conditioning bills. You won't notice much of a change, but you'll save an additional 20% and feel the benefit of your solar power.
