This is an awesome proof of concept experiment for rookie hackers and those who doubt the viability of phase change systems in general for heating purposes. The effectiveness of the lowly 5000 btu aircon unit unit will surprise you. It will heat a large bedroom well, and for the frugal of thermostat, it will keep that gas blaster central unit from running up the cubic feet quite effectively. For a larger home, a larger aircon unit can be modified in the same manner to provide more heating capacity.
