What Is A Split System Air Conditioner?

Everyone wants to enjoy quick and easy climate control. On a balmy evening after work, you want to feel cool comfort, jut as much as you want relaxed warmth on a cold winter's morning. And the great thing is you can enjoy both with the convenience of a split system reverse cycle air conditioner.

For those unfamiliar with a split system air conditioner, it's a heating and cooling system made up of two parts, an indoor unit installed inside on the wall, and an outdoor unit. The outdoor unit is also referred to as the outdoor condenser, while the internal section is the wall-mounted split system recognisable to most of us.

How Do They Differ From Ducted Systems?

Unlike ducted air conditioning that heats or cools the whole home, split systems are designed to condition the air to a set temperature in a single room. However, with a multi-head split system, you can connect multiple indoor units to a single outdoor unit and heat or cool several rooms at once.

Sounds appealing, right? If that's something you could get on board with for your home, then get in touch with Metropolitan Air Conditioning! We can help you achieve the comfort you crave with our split system installation, maintenance and repair services.

The Benefits of Split System Air Conditioning Unit

If you want to enjoy energy-efficient climate control throughout your home - and, let's face it, why wouldn't you? - a split system air conditioner offers several benefits that make it an excellent year-round choice. Here's a quick view of the major benefits they provide:

  • Energy efficiency: Reverse cycle split systems provide cost-effective heating and cooling for single rooms. That energy efficiency will likely save you money in the long run.
  • Quiet operation: With the indoor and outdoor units installed both in and outside the house, split system air conditioners offer a quiet climate-control solution.
  • Minimal maintenance: These units require less upkeep than other air conditioning systems, making them a low-maintenance option for your home.
  • Customised comfort: A multi-head split system offers customisable temperature control that lets each member of the household set their own desired temperature for their occupied room.

Whether you're particularly loyal to a specific brand or seeking the pinnacle of energy efficiency and performance, split systems offer the perfect combination of efficiency, convenience, and quiet operation.

Split System Installation

Metropolitan Air Conditioning specialises in the easy installation of single and multi-head split system units for the home. As they're non-intrusive sound-wise, especially in quiet mode, and don't require ducting, it's understandable as to why they're one of the most popular air conditioner types on the market. Maintenance and servicing are also incredibly easy, making it the perfect choice.

Comprehensive Services For Split System Air Conditioners

People often fall into the trap of believing that once you've installed your split system air conditioner, you don't need to keep it well-maintained. You can just set and forget. Well, that's far from the truth. Every air con requires annual maintenance and regular cleaning

Reverse cycle split system air conditioners often need the most attention due to their year-round usage. There is consistent air circulation as people use their split system for heating and cooling. As a result, dust builds up in filters, parts wear down, and vents get dirty.

If you're wondering how to get the best from your unit, wonder no more. Simply get in touch with Metropolitan Air Conditioning for routine maintenance and servicing.

Split Systems FAQ

All your split system air conditioner questions are answered here!

Most split system air conditioners operate with both heating/cooling functions. The term reverse cycle split system is often interchangeable, as it just refers to an air con unit that does provide cooling and heating. Reverse cycle systems can be ducted or split, and most leading brands provide these functions as a standard.

There are some dedicated cooling-only split system units, though, so it is highly recommended you double-check the specifications. You want to choose the best system for your home and needs.

To get the right-sized air conditioner for your home, you need to consider a number of factors.

Before you buy, consider the room's size and its cooling requirements. Smaller rooms, for example, may not have the same cooling needs as larger open plan areas. Essentially, for every 10 square metres, you need roughly 1kW of cooling capacity from your reverse cycle air conditioner. It's vital to steer clear of undersized units that work harder and oversized ones that consume excess energy. Other factors such as the height of the ceiling, insulation, exposure to sunlight, and room usage can affect your decision. It's well worth it to compare models of air conditioners in order to make an informed choice.

A split system air conditioner can be very effective at cooling a room, although one indoor unit does not typically work for multiple rooms.

If you are looking for a system that can simultaneously cool a bedroom, lounge room and dining room all at once, you want a multi-head split system. It is exactly the same as a standard split, but there are multiple internal units attached to one external condenser. You can use each wall-mounted indoor aircon unit independently, which helps you save energy and lower your running costs.

To determine the energy efficiency of your air con, look at the star rating on the appliance's Energy Rating Label. Air conditioners with more stars on their labels are more energy efficient.

Residential single-phase split system air conditioners use a Zoned Energy Rating Label (ZERL). This differs from the standard Energy Rating Label, as the ZERL displays a seasonal energy efficiency rating for three clear-cut climate zones across Australia. It enables people looking to purchase an aircon to find a make and model that best suits their particular region of the country.

Modern heating and cooling systems are more efficient than older models; even those from a decade ago. As for the refrigerants they use, modern split systems rely less on harmful, ozone-depleting R22 refrigerant gas, with newer, more environmentally-friendly alternatives now favoured.

Here in Australia and across the world, H22 has been phased out, though it can still be used to service older models.

Running costs typically vary according to factors like the system's energy efficiency rating, the frequency of its usage and the plan you're on with your energy provider. One of the most efficient ways to heat or cool your home is with an inverter reverse-cycle air conditioner.

Inverter technology provides advanced climate control as the internal compressor motor self-adjusts to the room's temperature. Instead of automatically turning on and off once it reaches the desired temperature, the compressor speeds up or slows down. This saves on energy costs associated with an air conditioner that has to constantly start up. There is less power loss and less power usage, resulting in more efficient performance and ultimately making saving money much easier.
