Short Description
A reverse-cycle air conditioner pumps heat from inside the home to the outside to cool it and to lower humidity levels, and can also pump heat from the outside air into the home to warm it in winter. Its efficiency depends upon its capacity and airflow rate. The air conditioner should be selected with the correct cooling and heating capacity for the room in which it is installed.
