DA LI SE ISPLATI GREJANJE NA KLIMA-UREĐAJ? Stručnjaci otkrivaju: Evo koliko struje troši kada temperatura ode u minus!
Klima-uređaji se danas ne koriste isključivo za rashlađivanje tokom leta, već sve češće i za grejanje u zimskim mesecima, kada za tim postoji potreba. Ipak, kako navodi „Blic“, mnogi građani se i dalje dvoume da uključe klimu zimi zbog bojazni da će računi za struju biti previsoki.
TL;DR
- Air conditioners are now used for heating in winter, not just cooling in summer.
- Electricity consumption for heating with an AC depends on the unit's type, quality, power, insulation, and usage hours.
- ACs function as heat pumps, transferring heat from outside air, making them potentially more energy-efficient than direct electric heaters.
- Inverter ACs are more efficient than classic models, adapting their compressor to heating needs.
- Classic ACs have compressors that work at full power or are off, leading to higher energy consumption and lower efficiency, especially in sub-zero temperatures.
- An inverter AC unit around 12,000 BTU for 20-40 sqm uses about 1.1-1.2 kWh per hour in sub-zero temperatures.
- Daily energy costs for an inverter AC at around 0°C, running 8 hours, are approximately 140-150 dinars.
- Heating with a quality inverter AC can be one of the cheapest electric heating solutions, especially with good insulation.
