When you buy a reverse cycle air conditioner, you are also getting one of the most efficient heaters money can buy.  We often forget this fact, but a reverse cycle conditioner is extremely efficient.  It will be cheaper than any other form of electric heater, oil or kerosene fire. Not only that, but it also heats without the worry of open flames, or children touching hot surfaces.

The air inside your home will be cleaner and safer, and free from soot, carbon monoxide and other products of combustion.  Best of all, it doesn't consume all the oxygen in your home!

A reverse cycle air conditioner is one appliance that will keep you cool in summer and warm in winter.  Isn't that what all Australian consumers want for their homes?

The tables below are condensed from information on www.energysmart.com.au.  For assumptions and further figures, please see their web site.  This is a good comparison of the running costs of heating your home.  As you can see, reverse-cycle air-conditioning is one of the best ways PLUS it is the only item mentioned that ALSO cools you in summer.  Reverse-cycle air-conditioning simply makes good sense.
