Split System - Metropolitan Air Conditioning

What is a Split System Air Conditioner?

A split system is a type of air conditioning system. It's also sometimes called a ductless air conditioner because it doesn't have any ductwork associated with it. It has two main parts; an indoor wall-mounted unit and an outdoor unit. These units work together with refrigerant gas to produce cool or warm air. These units are ideal for heating or cooling one room or a specific area of the home. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and designs which makes them a flexible heating and cooling solution.

Split System Service

People often fall into the trap of thinking once an air conditioner is installed, there is no need to tend to it anymore. However, just like your car, it's important to regularly service your split system air conditioner.

As your system is continually circulating air, if it is not properly serviced, it will cause a build up of dust and dirt around the coils and filters. Over time, this can cause your machine's functionality to diminish and cost you more than it should on energy bills!

Thankfully, the team at Metropolitan Air Conditioning are your air conditioning experts and can take care of all your split system service needs. On arrival, we will:

Check the refrigerant gas levels
Clean the filters
Test the thermostat
Ensure all internal parts are working efficiently
Catch and repair minor problems before they become major

Regular servicing not only lengthens your system's lifespan, but also saves you money by running a more efficient system.

Split Systems FAQ

Can a split system air conditioner be used as a heater?

Yes. So long as your split system has reverse cycle features. Reverse cycle refers to a system’s abilities to cool and heat a home. Most modern systems are reverse cycle. Just be sure to check capabilities before purchasing or speak with a professional. The remote or thermostat is all you need for a reverse cycle split system to change from cooling to heater functions.

Are split systems good?

Split systems are very effective at cooling a living space or bedroom. Larger units would be useful for cooling a larger space, but split systems are only suitable for a room or two. You may want to consider ducted air conditioning or multiple split systems to cool an entire home.

Can I install a split system air conditioner myself?

While it may appear possible to DIY a split system install, a licensed technician is required for the job. Only technicians can handle refrigerant gases for legal reasons, and an improper install can void a warranty. There are also the safety risks of dealing with electricity. When installing a split system, you should always look to the professionals.
