Does A Cooling Heating Air Conditioner Worth Its Cost??

When we are choosing air conditioners, most of us struggle with whether we should buy an air conditioner with a cooling and heating function or whether just cooling is enough.

 

Someone says that a cooling and heating air conditioner costs much and is seldomly used in winter, so it is not cost-effective compared with a cooling-only air conditioner. While others think a cooling and heating air conditioner has multiple applications, which is also "cost-effective". So which one is the best for you? Is a cooling and heating air conditioner worth its cost? Now we are going to explain the real performance of a cooling and heating air conditioner and make it clear and rest assured for you.

 

I. Cooling heating air conditioner

 

Simply, it has two functions: heating and cooling. Unlike traditional electric heaters that generate heat through resistance, air conditioners use heat from the outdoor environment to transport heat and are generally more energy efficient, especially in spring, autumn, and winter in the south.

II. Real performance of the cooling and heating air conditioner

 

Cooling performance: no difference with a cooling only air conditioner.

Most of the cooling and heating air conditioning units have the same cooling effect compared with cooling-only air conditioners in summer. There are no differences in horsepower, energy efficiency, cooling speed, and other aspects.

 

Heating performance: It is sufficient for the south area in winter. For the north, it needs an additional heating supply.

In southern cities, the outdoor temperature in winter is relatively mild, and the heating and cooling air conditioning is completely sufficient.

For use in sub-zero areas in the north, it is recommended to choose a model with **low-temperature heating capacity (T3 heat pump or electric auxiliary heating)** to improve the effect.

 

High energy efficiency ratio, good energy-saving performance

Compared with traditional electric heaters or oil-filled radiators, air conditioners have higher heating efficiency per unit of power consumption (COP value is usually > 2.5) and are more energy-efficient in the long term.

 

III. Applicable groups to buy a cooling heating air conditioner

 

  • Southern families: There is no central heating supply, and an air conditioner to heat is a high-efficiency and practical method.
  • Young people who rent houses: They don't want to additionally buy heaters; a cooling and heating air conditioner is enough.
  • Families with kids and elderly people: Large temperature differences in spring and autumn; a cooling and heating air conditioner makes it able to adjust the inner temperature flexibly and improve the comfort.
  • Office buildings and shops: Business places throughout the year, a cooling and heating air conditioner is cost-effective in maintenance and management.

 

 

IV. Suggestions for choosing cooling heating air conditioners

 

  • Check the energy efficiency ratio: Class I and European A+++ air conditioners are more energy-saving during long-term operation.
  • Check the heating capacity: Citizens in northern areas are concerned about air conditioners with electric auxiliary heating and low-temperature operation technology.
  • Check the installation position: Ensure good ventilation around the outdoor unit to avoid the decrease of heating in winter.
  • Brand and aftersales: Choose well-known brands in service networks and with good reputations, such as KRG air conditioning.

 

 

The real value of a cooling and heating air conditioner is not just "an extra function", but it brings a longer service life, higher space utilization, and a more comfortable living experience. Especially today when climate change is becoming increasingly obvious, a heating and cooling dual-purpose air conditioner may be an indispensable core appliance in your home all year round.

 

If you want to know the selection plan of KRG's full range of cooling heating and cooling only air conditioners (wall-mounted, cabinet, duct unit, ceiling unit, etc.), please leave us a message or contact us. We will reach you with the most suitable product and the best price.

 

Room Area & Air Conditioner Capacity A Chart To Solve The Selection Between

A small air conditioner has a small cooling effect; a larger air conditioner has a stronger cooling performance but a higher cost and higher energy consumption. So what exactly is the air conditioner capacity that I need for my room size? Don't choose it blindly; a comparison chart here can help you solve the problem quickly.

 

I. What's HP (Horsepower)?

 

HP is the unit of air conditioner power; 1 HP is approximately equal to 2500 W of cooling capacity. Common air conditioner capacities include 1 HP, 1.5 HP, 2 HP, 3 HP, etc. The larger the capacities, the stronger the air conditioner's cooling/heating capacity.

However, choosing an air conditioner is not a matter of “the bigger the better”. Instead, it should be judged comprehensively based on factors such as room size, floor height, orientation, and usage function.

 

II. Standard horsepower reference table

 

Room size Suggested horsepower scenarios
10-15㎡ 1 HP Small bedroom, study room
15-20㎡ 1.5 HP Ordinary bedroom, children's room
20-30㎡ 2 HP Master bedroom, large study room, small living room
30-40㎡ 2.5 HP Living room, conference room
40-50㎡ 3 HP Large living room, office
50-70㎡ 5 HP Open space, restaurant, commercial place
70㎡ and above 6-7 HP or  choose VRF/VRV system Large conference room, restaurant, exhibition hall, etc.

 

The above is a reference for a normal home environment with a 2.6 m floor height and good insulation. If the floor height is high, there is direct sunlight, there is a large flow of people, or there are many devices, it is recommended to appropriately increase the number of units or choose a multi-split/duct unit solution.

 

III. Selection tips

 

  • Select based on room type and its usage: Silent and energy-saving air conditioners are priorly considered for bedrooms; airflow distance and cooling coverage are concerns for living rooms.
  • Select based on the orientation: For the room that faces the west or is located at the top of the building, it is suggested to choose the air conditioners plus 0.5 hp.
  • Select with a margin: Reserve 10%-20% cooling capacity to withstand the extreme hot weather.

 

 

IV. Don't ruin your experience with a wrong-capacity air conditioner

 

KRG provides a variety of capacities of air conditioners, from 1 hp to 7 hp, from wall mounted air conditioners to ceiling mounted air conditioners. Those product series can meet your different needs for households, commercial buildings, and constructive projects. If you have any questions on how to select an air conditioner, please don't hesitate to contact us.

 

Custom EVA vs. Cut and Sew vs. Lamination Cases Which Case Style is Right for You?

When it comes to choosing the perfect protective case for your product, the options can be hard to choose from.  At Yisi Packing, we specialize in manufacturing custom EVA cases, cut and sew cases, and lamination cases.  Each style has its unique strengths, and selecting the right one depends on your product, budget, industry, and brand goals.

Why OEMs Prefer Custom EVA Cases for Product Launch Kits and Demos

In today’s competitive market, first impressions matter more than ever, especially during product launches and demos.  For OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), presentation isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about protecting the product, reflecting brand quality, and delivering a memorable unboxing experience.  That’s why more OEMs are choosing custom EVA cases for their product launch kits and demonstration units.

 

1. Professional Look That Enhances Brand Image

 

Custom EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) cases offer a sleek, modern appearance that instantly communicates quality.  Whether it’s a new tech device, medical instrument, or specialized tool, a well designed EVA case makes the product stand out.  It can be branded with logos, custom colors, and molded interiors that align with your visual identity, helping your sales team or partners leave a lasting impression during demos or client meetings.

 

2. Tailored Protection for Sensitive Equipment

 

Product samples in launch kits often involve fragile or precision engineered items.  EVA foam interiors are custom molded to the product’s exact shape, providing shock absorption, vibration resistance, and dust protection.  Compared to generic packaging or traditional hard plastic cases, custom EVA cases are lighter, more compact, and offer better internal cushioning - essential when shipping internationally or carrying valuable items from one client to another.

 

3. Reusable and Travel Friendly for Sales Teams

 

Sales reps and distributors appreciate how lightweight and durable EVA cases are.  With a zipper closure, custom compartments, and optional handles or shoulder straps, they’re convenient to carry and built to last.  Instead of one time packaging, EVA cases become a reusable tool, saving money over time and reducing waste.

 

4. Faster Turnaround and Scalable Customization

 

OEMs need reliable partners who can deliver quickly.  At Yisi Packing, we specialize in scalable EVA case manufacturing.  Whether you need 500 or 50,000 cases, we offer fast sampling, in house design, and full production - all under one roof in China.  Our experienced team ensures your launch kits are ready on time and exactly to spec.

 

At the end, from first impressions to long term usability, custom EVA cases are an ideal packaging solution for OEMs launching new products.  At Yisi Packing, we help global clients create cases that not only protect their products but elevate their brand.  Ready to create a custom EVA case for your next launch?  Contact us today for a free consultation.

Bamboo Fiber in Bedding — A Smart Move Toward Natural Performance

In the evolving world of bedding, materials are no longer just about softness or luxury appeal. More brands are shifting toward textiles that offer real performance benefits—moisture control, breathability, and environmental responsibility now matter just as much as thread count.

Bamboo fiber has quietly emerged as one of the most promising solutions. Light, smooth, and naturally functional, it fits the needs of both modern consumers and brands looking to differentiate with smarter materials.

As an Innovative Functional Bedding Expert, EastWest works closely with partners to turn advanced materials like bamboo into market-ready products—without overcomplicating the development process.

Why Bamboo Fiber Is More Than Just a Trend

There’s a reason bamboo is gaining attention across the bedding industry. When spun into fiber, bamboo creates a uniquely soft and breathable fabric—often compared to silk in hand feel. But beyond comfort, it offers a range of natural performance benefits that synthetic fibers can’t match.

Exceptional Moisture Management
Bamboo fiber is naturally absorbent—capable of drawing moisture away from the skin and releasing it into the air faster than cotton. That makes it ideal for hot sleepers, humid climates, and layered bedding setups.

Skin-Friendly by Design
With a smooth, rounded surface structure, bamboo fiber causes less friction on the skin—reducing irritation for sensitive users and adding a sense of coolness to the touch.

Fresh Without Additives
The fiber contains natural agents that help resist bacterial growth and odor buildup. This means fewer chemical treatments during production and a fresher sleep surface over time.

Built for Today’s Sleep Habits

Modern sleep environments are increasingly varied: people sleep warmer, use more layered systems, and have higher expectations around hygiene and fabric feel. Functional materials that work passively—without high-tech add-ons—are especially valuable.

Bamboo fiber naturally responds to body heat and humidity, helping maintain a dry and comfortable microclimate throughout the night. It also integrates well with other textile technologies when additional structure or thermal regulation is needed.

Easy to Work With. Easy to Scale.

Bamboo blends easily with cotton, modal, or performance yarns, allowing flexible design choices without sacrificing product integrity. It also holds dyes well and maintains color vibrancy, making it a reliable base for collections with strong visual identity.

At EastWest, we help our partners build high-function bedding using bamboo fiber across multiple product types—from duvet covers and pillowcases to mattress protectors and blended inner cores. Each development project is tailored to meet both market positioning and end-user needs.

A Step Toward Smarter Bedding

For bedding brands focused on both comfort and function, bamboo fiber offers a clear material advantage. It fits the values of today’s consumers—cleaner, more responsible, and made to support better rest.

If your next collection calls for something breathable, soft, and naturally high-performing, bamboo is more than a sustainable choice—it’s a strategic one.

From Soft to Smart How Functional Fabrics Are Changing the Bedding Game

Not long ago, bedding brands were competing on softness, price, and aesthetics. If it felt nice and looked good, it sold.

Today? That’s no longer enough.

Consumers—especially in the U.S. and Europe—are no longer just buying comfort. They’re buying solutions. They want bedding that helps them sleep deeper, sweat less, and wake up without allergy symptoms.

In short, they want function.

The Market Is Evolving Because Consumers Are Evolving

The shift is simple:
Yesterday’s question was “Does this feel soft?”
Today’s question is “Can this help me sleep better?”

  • They’re hot sleepers, tired of waking up drenched in sweat.

  • They’re sensitive to dust mites and allergens.

  • They have issues like acid reflux, snoring, shallow sleep—and they want bedding that actually helps.

These aren’t lifestyle preferences. These are real pain points, and that’s exactly where functional fabrics come in.

What Are Functional Fabrics? A Few Real Examples:

  • Outlast® temperature-regulating fabric: originally developed for NASA, it absorbs and releases heat to prevent night sweats.

  • Silver & copper-infused textiles: offer natural antimicrobial protection, ideal for sensitive or allergy-prone users.

  • Far-infrared fabrics: gently warm the body, improving circulation and sleep quality—without electricity.

  • PCM (Phase Change Materials): actively maintain optimal sleep temperature by absorbing excess body heat and releasing it when needed.

These aren’t just lab tech. They’re already powering bestsellers from brands like Slumber Cloud, Molecule, Tempur-Pedic, and Cozy Earth.

Function Isn't Just a Feature—It's a Business Model Upgrade

  1. Higher perceived value = higher margin
    A functional eye mask can retail for 3x the price of a basic version—and still convert better, with fewer returns.

  2. Lower returns, higher LTV
    Because these products actually solve problems, customers are more satisfied and more loyal.

  3. From product to brand loyalty
    When your product has a clear, science-backed benefit, customers remember the brand, not just the fabric. That’s how you build long-term value.

Why Functional Bedding Is the Next Opportunity for Brands

We’re seeing an interesting trend:
While traditional textile factories are still focused on softness and thread count, new-gen bedding brands are already competing on function.

  • One Amazon brand launched a wedge pillow targeting acid reflux and cleared $1M in annual revenue within 12 months.

  • Another built a “travel eye mask” with 100% blackout + zero pressure design—and it exploded on social media.

  • A third focused on antimicrobial baby bedding and gained traction on niche DTC parenting platforms.

The secret? They didn’t overbuild.
They simply picked the right function for the right audience—and let the product speak for itself.
