    Hmmm true, depends largely on what type of heat exchanger he has. I do think I mentioned he'd have to check that though.

    I have converted Window A/Cs to heat pumps with good success, I rewire it so in heating mode the fan will be locked into full speed and usualy keeps head pressures resonable. but it is mostly manual control, hence why I mentioned he only should try if he has deep understanding of it.
