I was told once that an Air Con unit is almost 100% efficient . Is that correct?

Deke we do Air-con any yes typically a inverter (hot and cold) has an input of about 1.kW and an output of kW on heating and kW on cooling so to answer your question yes.

I have a average 2 bed House (no kids Yet) and with one A/C in bedroom and one in lounge both on together they heat or cool the house

So they are using 3kW and i am getting 12kW on heating and 10kW on cooling

Depending on the layout they can be a very effecient and effective way of heating a home, as well as the added benefit of cooling in the hot weather.

Air conditioning = Cooling

Heat pump = Heating & Cooling

With a variety of inside units wall mounted, ceiling mounted, ceiling cassette, floor mounted, ducted (good for lofts) you can also include in some fresh air intake as well.

2 air handlers (inside units) to 1 condenser (outside unit) and just on a pedantic nature now they do not cool they take the heat away ROTFWL , as you will guess the biggest usage is the compressor apart from that its normally 2 small motors and the control circuit.

Air conditioning and heat pump type systems are generally 300 to 400% efficient in terms of electrical input. Sounds weird, but the electricity supply is only doing part of the job.

anyone got any links for one that would suit a 2&1/2 bed house.

It would depend on alot of factors Mr Steptoe,

How much space you have ? how much you wish to spend ? do you want large single drain units or alot of smaller lesser usage units ?

Not had a proper look but that type might be an option as it allows for 1 outdoor with upto 8 indoor units, also gives you a better understanding of some of the unit types
