FAQs

What is an AC with heat pump and why is it ideal for grow setups?

An AC with a heat pump provides both cooling and heating, allowing growers to maintain a stable environment year-round. It’s especially useful for handling seasonal shifts without switching equipment, ensuring consistent growth conditions from veg to bloom.

How do I size an AC with heat pump for my grow room?

You’ll need to factor in grow room size (cubic feet), lighting wattage, equipment heat output, and insulation. A rough rule is 3,500–5,000 BTUs per 1000W of lighting, but high-performance grows may require more. Proper sizing avoids overcooling or inefficiency.
