Hello DaveUK
I have no figures to prove this but in my experience i am sure AC machines are less efficient. They produce more heat, have more fans to cool them and more importantly, no manufacturer makes fantastic claims that they are. If there was a sniff of proof that they were better at converting the available energy we would have heard !
