First we need to understand how a central air conditioning. Basically (without complicated thermodynamics), the electrical energy used to pump heat from the inside to the outside because the air is not just happening by chance to cool off. In other words, it takes energy (work), slightly cooler than his alentours.Peut you have noticed that the exterior of an air conditioner or maybe the back of a refrigerator rather hot in operation. The reverse cycle air conditioning uses this as a heater for the interior, cool air extérieur.Dans detail, the outside air is not only cool the air inside is so warm so used electricity to some of the heat energy to move from outside to inside. Thus, the heat from this can be used inside the electrical energy, and all that energy comes from outside. This is important because a standard furnace is only electrical power (at 100% efficiency), it is like something (extra energy) to get for nothing (for a higher cost). If you are planning to install something like this, I recommend that you check and a geothermal system.
