Running Costs Reverse Cycle

Running costs reverse cycle. We have now had our Panasonic ducted reverse cycle air conditioning system in and running for coming up 2 winters. I have been very surprised at how much it has cost us to run our system.

A lot of people use to tell me it was very expensive to run a ducted reverse cycle air conditioning system. I previously had a ducted evaporative cooling system and found it great for cooling. I live in the Perth hills and our options for heating are limited. Because we do not have natural gas in our area. Therefore we purchased a slow combustion wood fire. As you would probably know maintaining a wood fire can involve a lot of work. Such as cleaning fire out, chopping and stacking wood. So then you have to light the fire, cleaning chimney etc and to top it all off would only heat the room the fire was in effect. On average we would use up to 5 ton of wood a year the cost was around $1200.00.

We decided  it was time for a change and we installed a Panasonic ducted Inverter reverse cycle air conditioning system.The size of our home we needed a 14 kw with 6 zones and 10 outlets the price was $10,400.00 the system was installed in the one day with minimal interruption to our daily schedule.  We now have a constant temperature controlled home without the hassle of doing all the other choirs that come with a wood heater as described above.

The surprising thing for me was the running costs reverse cycle Air Conditioning system. because for a 60 day period, we have not spent more than $300.00 on power costs. For heating our whole of home to the desired temperature with the push of a button. So we run our system between 22-24 degrees. The maintenance is very little removing and cleaning a filter every 3 months. So if you are building a new home or looking for a change in your current air conditioning system. I would strongly recommend a Panasonic ducted reverse cycle air conditioning system. And forget about the stories of being expensive to run. Providing you use a common sense approach to the temperature you set. And also the way you use your system. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised like I was. On the humid days during summer you will be nice and cool and relaxed.
