How about using your air conditioning’s reverse cycle mechanism to heat your home? Learn more about it in this article.
Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning vs. Gas Heating
Reverse cycle air conditioning, also known as a heat pump, is capable of both heating and cooling your home. It extracts heat from the outside and transfers it inside.
While gas heating uses the radiant method of heating to create a flame that heats the air.
1. Safety
While reverse cycle air conditioning does not expose elements making it a 100% safe way to generate, gas heating requires routing servicing to ensure your safety and health.
Reverse Cycle: YES
Gas Heating : needs routing service
2. Affordability
If you are looking for a budget-friendly method of heating or cooling your home in Clontarf, Balmoral, Bribie Island, Bulimba, Green Slopes, Hawthorne, Morningside, North Brisbane, North Lakes, Redcliffe, and South Brisbane, consider reverse cycle air conditioning. It can perform both heatings and cooling your home. On the contrary gas, heating will only work for you during the winter season.

Reverse Cycle: YES
Gas Heating : Requires seasonal maintenance
4. Environmentally-friendliness
Reverse cycle air conditioners are way more environmentally-friendly than other heaters (gas and electric heaters).
“Gas heaters and efficient reverse cycle air conditioners (or heat pumps) produce only one-third the greenhouse gas emissions of standard electric heaters. The most efficient 5–6 star reverse cycle units actually produce less than one-fifth of the emissions of conventional electric heaters.” – Your Home
It can produce two-thirds less the amount of greenhouse gas emissions.
Reverse Cycle: YES
Gas Heating : NO
5. Flexibility
Reverse cycle air conditioners can easily adapt to the temperature and humidity of the room because of its thermostat and advanced inverter technology. This is not applicable with a gas heater.
Reverse Cycle: YES
Gas Heating : NO
6. Purification
The reverse cycle air conditioner is perfect for households with asthma and hay fever. It comes with an inbuilt air-purifying filter to purify and dehumidify the air, designed to trap airborne particles, neutralize odours and deactivate bacteria and viruses. This does not apply with gas heaters.
Reverse Cycle: YES
Gas Heating : NO

Sleep and work better with a reverse cycle air conditioning. Compared to gas heating systems, you’ll find high-quality aircon manufacturers have already developed technology that reduced the operating noises of their units. This results in maximised family comfort and a more productive work environment.
Reverse Cycle: YES
Gas Heating : NO
