Poți reduce la jumătate costurile de încălzire cu aerul condiționat? Cât consumă dacă îl pornști toată ziua • Newsweek România

Using air conditioning for heating can significantly reduce costs compared to traditional electric heaters. Modern inverter models can produce more heat than the electricity they consume, making them efficient alternatives. However, actual savings depend on various factors, including outdoor temperature and insulation. For instance, a 3.5 kW air conditioner with a COP of 3 consumes about 1.17 kWh per hour, leading to estimated monthly costs of around 364 to 420 lei, depending on electricity rates. In contrast, an electric radiator would cost approximately 1,092 lei for the same heating needs. While air conditioning can be cheaper, its efficiency may vary in extreme cold conditions.
