One of the most popular types of air conditioners in Australia is the split system. These air conditioners are affordable, versatile, and easy to install. Split system air conditioners are perfect for cooling (or heating) small areas or individual rooms.
Just as the name suggests, split system airconditioners are ‘split’ into two units. In general, these systems have one outdoor unit and one (or multiple) indoor units. Both units are connected through electric wires and refrigerant piping. The installation process of split system air conditioners is straightforward. Still, these air conditioners require professional installation.
To understand how these systems work, here is more about split air conditioners:
Indoor Unit
This part of the split system can be mounted on the wall or stand on the floor. It is installed inside the room you want to cool (or heat). The indoor unit of a split air conditioner is responsible for delivering cooled (or heated) air.
Nowadays, the indoor units of split system air conditioners come in a variety of colours and sleek designs. You can choose the best style that complements the interior design. Modern split system indoor units operate quietly. So, you will not have to worry about noise or annoying sounds. Single split system air conditioners consist of one indoor unit connected to one outdoor unit. There are also multi-head split systems, where multiple indoor units are linked to a single outdoor unit.
Outdoor Unit
Noisy parts, such as the compressor, are sent outdoors. It is advisable to install the split system outdoor unit at a safe distance away from bedrooms. Some modern split airconditioners come with relatively quiet outdoor units. So, you can rest assured the sound of your split system will not disturb the neighbours.
Inverter technology has been a game-changer for split system air conditioners. The compressor of traditional air conditioners had to either run at full speed or turn off. Inverter technology allowed the compressor to operate at variable speeds as required. That is why split systems with inverter technology are more energy-efficient and significantly quieter.
Reverse Cycle Split Airconditioners
Not all split-system air conditioners offer both cooling and heating capabilities. Only reverse-cycle air conditioners can provide both functions. With reverse cycle split systems, you can maintain a comfortable home environment all year round.
Unlike traditional systems, reverse-cycle air conditioners do not generate heat. Instead, they draw the hot air from the outside and transfer it into the room. In cooling mode, reverse cycle split air conditioners operate in the opposite direction. That is why these systems are much more energy efficient.
