I wouldn't recommen evap, i would go for split system reverse cycle

NKSK version 2

We have evap and I wouldn't ever recommend it for a number of reasons.

Firstly it doesn't cool you down hugely - so if you really get a stinking hot day and you wantto feel very cool - it won't happen (well, it doesn't happen in our house). This is personal preference but I like a cold bedroom on a hot summer's night.

Secondly, if it is very humid it won't work as well (because the system needs dry air to allow it to work effectively (have I got this right?))

Thirdly - in our house - it works by having vents which go from the ceiling to the open air via the loft. We have a poorly constructed roof which allows air in (but I think any roof would allow air in) so imagine what this does to your attempts to keep warm in winter at night in near freezing temperatures. You can close the vents but in our case it isn't at all effective. It's basically like having a hole in your ceiling.

I'd go for reverse cycle everytime - having experienced both.

I think they are rubbish & don't really work well at all. We've just had Fujitsu Inverter reverse cycle aircon installed. As it's winter we've had no need to use the cooling side of it but for heating it works well (not as good as radiators though). Winter is a good time to get aircon installed as there are really good deals to be had on them. We just got $750 cash back from Fujitsu as they are running a promotion at the moment.

we have the cassette type in the ceiling, reverse cycle. I can highly recommend it, heats the whole house up in no time.
The air con is good too, but it does not get to our bedroom at the front of the house, but does the rest of the house, our house is big 5 bed. Its brill, im bloody roasting at the moment, have to turn it off.
