The functionality of cooling systems during colder months is a topic that often raises questions. While these systems are primarily designed to lower temperatures, certain models possess features that allow for operation even when ambient temperatures are low. These capabilities extend the utility of the equipment beyond simple cooling.
Operating these systems in winter, when equipped with heat pump functionality, offers potential energy savings. This functionality allows the unit to reverse its cycle, extracting heat from the outside air even cold air and transferring it inside, providing a more efficient heating solution than traditional electric resistance heating. Furthermore, some systems are designed to provide dehumidification in colder months, preventing the growth of mold and mildew and maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.
