Re: air con
Yes they come with enough gas to purge any air & still have enough to run the unit.

Re: air con
thanks for reply
a friend said the unit would heat the apartment up if i left the doors open i think it probably is good for my lounge only when its bitter, with the tall ceilings and marble floor |
Re: air con
I would suggest you will need another form of heating. Have you considered an oil filled radiator or two?

Air con I'm told is a lot cheaper And more effective also you have cold air in summer so no fans and oil radiators to store lol Thanks |
Re: air con
I am not convinced a/c is much more efficient than an oil filled rad. Certainly take a long time to save the cost of installation. installing a/c for heating only makes no sense to me

I only use the place about 5 times a year so probably should suffer the oil filled heaters in the bedroom though I'm glad I have air con in the lounge Regards |
Re: air con
Each to their own. I have both and prefer gentle background heat generated by oil filled rad to a/c

I do tend to agree I think I feel that certain things I should have but don't need lol

The oil filled rads last forever and don't need servicing. There's not a lot that can go wrong with them but you can't beat the cold a/c during the hotter months.

Aircon units are the most efficient form of electrical heating available. On the best units you can get 3kw out with only 1kw input. An oil filled rad will only give about 900w from 1kw.

Re: air con
Portable gas heaters are extremely cheap to run and are efficient and effective.
Instant heat and versatile. Steve |
Re: air con
And you have the satisfaction that the cost of the gas is heavily subsidised by the government!
