When winter hits, most people reach for heaters, blankets, and extra layers. But what if the most effective way to warm your home was already installed and ready to go?
At Capital Air (www.capitalair.co.za), we supply premium AUX air conditioners—designed for all-season comfort, offering powerful cooling in summer and efficient heating in winter. If you own an AUX aircon from Capital Air, you’re already halfway to a cosier, more energy-smart winter. You just need to tap into its full potential.
In this post, we’ll explore how to heat your home with your AUX aircon, whether it’s cost-effective, and why it might be the safest, cleanest option for winter warmth.
Can Your Aircon Heat Your Home?
Yes, absolutely. One of the biggest misconceptions about air conditioners is that they’re only for cooling. AUX air conditioners, available exclusively through Capital Air, are built for both. Whether you have a Midwall Split Unit, a Floor Standing Unit, or a Commercial Cassette, all our models come with heating and cooling functions, giving you full temperature control at the push of a button.
AUX inverter air conditioners utilise advanced inverter technology that not only heats the air but maintains a stable, even temperature throughout your space. Models such as the AUX Mirror Series, AUX Inverter Series, and AUX Fixed Speed Series are designed for smooth, efficient performance in both warm and cold conditions.
If you’re using a ducted or underceiling unit in a commercial space or large home, rest assured the same applies. These systems are just as capable of providing reliable, comfortable heat when the temperature drops across South Africa.
Is AUX Aircon Heating More Affordable?
It may surprise you, but yes—AUX inverter air conditioners from Capital Air are often cheaper to run than traditional heating appliances. You can enjoy a warm, comfortable space for a fraction of the cost of electric or gas heaters.
Let’s break it down:
Traditional electric or gas heaters are energy-hungry, and their heating is often localised—warming only the area directly in front of them. An AUX inverter aircon, on the other hand, utilises precise temperature regulation to deliver warmth efficiently, consuming less energy over time.
The Coefficient of Performance (COP) Advantage
AUX air conditioners are designed to be super-efficient. Thanks to their high Coefficient of Performance (COP) ratings , they can produce significantly more heat using less electricity.
Think of COP as a measure of how much heat you get for every unit of power used. For example:
-
A COP of 3 means the aircon gives you 3 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity it uses
-
Traditional heaters typically give you only 1 unit of heat per unit of electricity
That’s a big step up. You stay warm while saving on energy bills—a major advantage with South Africa’s rising electricity costs.
Even Heat Distribution
AUX air conditioners feature advanced airflow technology that distributes warm air evenly throughout the room. This means:
-
No cold corners
-
No need to run multiple appliances to keep the whole space warm
-
Consistent comfort from wall to wall
Other Benefits of Using Your AUX Aircon in Winter
Aside from energy efficiency and steady warmth, using your AUX Air Conditioner from Capital Air in winter has several less obvious perks worth celebrating:
Conquer Flu Season with Cleaner Air
Many AUX aircon units feature advanced filtration systems, capturing dust, bacteria, and allergens. This helps reduce the spread of airborne viruses during flu season. Breathe easier while you stay warm—a win for your whole household.
Pure Comfort, All in One
It’s not just about heat. AUX aircon units offer climate control and air purification in one device. No extra equipment, no hassle—just a healthier environment with every cycle.
Safe, Steady Heat. No Flames, No Risk.
Unlike gas heaters or open fires, AUX aircons from Capital Air offer safe, flame-free warmth:
-
No carbon monoxide risk
-
No fire hazards from exposed elements
-
No tripping over oil heaters or knocking over portable units
-
Just peace of mind for you and your family
Hassle-Free, Wall-Mounted Design
With midwall and ceiling-mounted options, AUX aircons save valuable floor space and eliminate the need for seasonal storage. No hauling out heaters from the garage each June—your system is always ready to go at the push of a button.
