Maybe if combined with heating in an air to air heat exchanger, it makes sense, but AC on its own?
Agreed if it's a fixed a/c only system but why even consider this when the cost of reversible systems can't be much more assuming the fixed a/c only unit is available.
My kitchen 3.5 kW (ish) reversible air/air unit is brilliant & costs around €1.1/10 hr day average to run in winter.(10 x0.8kw input x 0.6 weather factor x say €.23/kw) I've two other newer consule units which are not run much but should be similar figures.
20 days cooling per year maybe, I've never counted, but worth every centime during these heat wave prone days.

It rained for about 3/4 hours here - enough to freshen the air but not nearly enough at all.

We had a short blast about 20 mins - lovely and fresh. I woke up to the pitter patter and started to sing......

With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never be empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way into darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine.........The Corpse Bride
