5 advantages of split system air conditioning

Choosing the right cooling solution for your home or office can be a tough decision. Many factors can come into play, such as the size and division of rooms, the age of the building, and your budget.

One of the most popular options is split system air conditioning, which is a highly efficient and cost-effective way to cool your property. Below, we’ll look at how a split system works and weigh up some of the advantages to see whether split system installation is the best solution for you.

How a split system works

As the name suggests, a split system air conditioning unit it split into two (or sometimes more) operating components; the fan and evaporator, which is placed inside the building, and the compressor unit, which is placed outside the building.

Put simply, a split system air conditioner extracts hot air and humidity from inside the building and expels them through the compressor into the air outside the building. Refrigerants inside the compressor then cool air from outside and pass them into the indoor unit though copper pipes, where the fan blows the chilled air around the room.

When used for heating, the system works inversely: it extracts cold air and blows warm air around the room.

Advantages of a split system

There are a number of advantages to using a split system air conditioner to cool your home or office. Here are 5 reasons we chose to use split systems;

1. A split system unit will deliver cool air to only the space needed when it is needed meaning no money will be wasted cooling rooms that aren’t being used.

2. The installation method requires very little modification to your home.
