Smile any one knows room categories: a/c, aircool , EP

Does any one know what aircool mean? is it fans? In that case probably not necessary in winter in the north. a/c i would assume is reverse cycle ie heating in winter.

Aircooled means a desertcooler is installed, usually in a window or not. More effective when in a window.

A non window model is http://www.tradekey.com/product_view/id/251543.htm

A desertcooler only works in dry heat areas, is not as effective as an A/c, is noisier and needs periodic replenishment of water.

Not at all reqd. in north indian winter. You may require a heater, though, or an airconditioner which heats. Not all do.

A desertcooler does not heat.

No colling is needed in North in Winters..however you might need a heater...and by default AC's do not have a heater..
