I don't know where you get your ACs, but any I've seen installed this side of the turn of the century has a heating setting.
I use the AC unit (air to air heatpumps) in my attic mostly for heating in Winter and it works fine. The big downside is noise, (air to water) heatpumps let you move the noisy bit to another space which increases comfort.
- namibj 2y agoYou can build a silent-enough forced convection condenser to put in the room and put the noisy part away, without water, and cheaper than the passive convection water setup. For cooling you can't use the typical passive convection radiators anyways, so might as well invest their cost into making the cooling and heating refrigerant coil silent... Also c.f. a normal domestic fridge: no noise beyond the piston compressor.
