Beat the heat and kill the cold

Article Abstract:

Air conditioners can help to keep people comfortable in their homes in Australia, but first it is a good idea to consider other ways, such as insulating, to get similar results without spending so much money. Reverse-cycle or heat-pump air conditioners can both heat and cool the home and produce higher heat output than electricity input for greater efficiency. Six remote-controlled reverse-cycle split systems were tested. In a split system the working part, the compressor, is outside the house with the air outlet inside.
