Absolutely. The majority of modern air conditioners are equipped with a heating mode that allows them to provide heating as needed. This can be a highly efficient heating solution that saves you money in the long run while also ensuring unparalleled comfort.

According to research by Canstar Blue, using your air-conditioner in winter won't break the bank and is actually cheaper than you think. The average, modern reverse cycle air-conditioner, capable of heating large spaces quickly, costs only around $0.13 – $0.36 per hour to run.

Your AC can heat the room in winter only if it has a reverse cycle function or a heat pump. This allows it to switch from cooling to heating mode and transfer heat from outside to inside. A cooling-only AC cannot heat the room in winter.

While many people think of air conditioning as a way of cooling buildings, it can also be used for heating.
