Poți încălzi casa mai ieftin cu aerul condiționat decât cu centrala pe gaze? • Newsweek România

Using an inverter air conditioner for heating can be cheaper than gas heating under certain conditions. The efficiency of modern air conditioners, which act as heat pumps, allows them to produce more heat than the electricity they consume. The seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) indicates that for every kWh of electricity used, about 4 kWh of heat can be generated. However, the cost-effectiveness depends on electricity and gas prices, which vary by provider and region. Air conditioning is more efficient in moderate temperatures, while gas heating may be necessary in extreme cold. A mixed system can optimize heating costs.
