Air Conditioning as a Heater in Winter – Efficient Heating for London Homes & Offices
One System. Two Functions. Comfort All Year Round.
Did you know your air conditioning system can do more than keep you cool in summer? Modern air conditioning units with heat pump technology can also provide powerful, energy-efficient heating in winter.
At Arcas Air Conditioning, we install systems across London that deliver heating and cooling in one solution — perfect for homes, offices, and garden buildings without gas supply.
Why Use Air Conditioning for Heating?
- Dual Function – Heat in winter, cool in summer with one compact system.
- Energy Efficient – Up to 4 times more efficient than electric heaters.
- Lower Bills – Reduce energy costs compared to portable heaters or older systems.
- All-Electric – No need for gas — just plug into your electricity supply.
- Fast & Reliable – Heats rooms quickly, unlike radiators that take time to warm up.
- Clean & Healthy Air – Built-in filters improve air quality while heating your space.
How It Works
Air conditioning units use reverse-cycle technology. In summer, they remove warm air from your home. In winter, the cycle is reversed — the system extracts heat energy from the outdoor air and transfers it inside, keeping your space cosy even in cold weather.
This makes air conditioning one of the most eco-friendly and cost-effective heating solutions available in London today.
Ideal for Every Space
- Living Rooms & Bedrooms – Stay warm without bulky heaters.
- Home Offices & Garden Rooms – Perfect for spaces without gas connections.
- Commercial Spaces – Energy-efficient heating for offices and shops.
- Studios & Annexes – Reliable comfort for guests, tenants, or rental units.
Customer Success Story
“We had Arcas install an AC system that also works as heating. It kept us cool during the heatwave, and now in winter it warms the whole living room in minutes. Much cheaper than our electric heater!”
