So, I bought a house (uk) which has aircon. I’ve refused to use it this summer due to how much I imagine it costs.
its Daikin and it also heats.
The previous owners loved it so much they took the bloody radiators out of 3 rooms so that’s the heat source in those rooms.
So, this winter I have no option but to give it a go.
Those who use theirs for heating, what’s the most efficient way? Do you set it up to come on before you get up on a timer (like CH) or am I meant to set it at say 18 and let it click in and out?
How quickly does it actually heat? I don’t like a boiling hot house, but I do like a bit of warmth in there!
I know it’s going to be expensive, but my understanding is it heats instantly, so it won’t need to be in for long, unlike the whole radiator scenario.
I believe it’s quite drying though, so should I put a bowl of water in the room to keep moisture in the air?
Im going to try for one winter, while I decide whether to then get radiators put back in. However, I’m keen to avoid the cost of doing that, so want to give this a fair go.
NB I didn’t want aircon, and I didn’t realise the radiators weren’t there, I just assumed that they were!
