ᐅ Is a multi-split air conditioning system suitable for heating?

Does anyone here use a multi-split system for heating, for example as an alternative in older buildings when insulation or renovation is no longer worthwhile?
I’m not familiar with the various split systems, but I’ve come across them often as an alternative to conventional heating when insulation and renovation hardly make sense anymore for the current residents.
I would have concerns about noise, drafts, and the resulting dust circulation since it is an air-to-air heat pump after all.
A photovoltaic system would at least be available for the transitional period from spring to autumn.

Don’t all heating systems (except infrared) use warm air? A convection radiator also warms the air, just without a fan.No, these are all surface heating systems, some more (underfloor heating), some less (radiators) surface area.gagagu75 schrieb:

An air conditioner is often perceived as unpleasant due to the draft it creates. Underfloor heating is considered comfortable because it distributes heat well without hotspots. Radiators and stoves tend to warm only one corner because the air isn’t circulated.
You’re quite clever 🙂

However, the effect is the same: it’s about getting warm room air.You can also warm up the room air with a campfire. However, the feeling is different. In this regard, @driver55 was completely right that underfloor heating cannot be compared to air conditioning. There is a good reason why this type of heat pump heating system has not become established (not to mention the poorer performance in winter).Similar topics
