SPLIT SYSTEMS
Split systems are one of the most popular and effective ways to heat and cool your home, offering a combination of flexibility, efficiency, and ease of use. These systems are designed to provide year-round comfort by delivering both heating and cooling through a discreet, space-saving design. Whether you’re looking to maintain a comfortable temperature during the summer heat or the winter chill, split systems offer an ideal solution for homeowners seeking energy-efficient climate control.
How Do Split Systems Work?
A split system consists of two main components:
-
Indoor Unit: This is the air handler, which is typically installed on the wall or ceiling of your room. It contains the evaporator coil, fan, and air filter. The indoor unit draws in warm or cool air from the room, processes it, and then circulates it back into the space.
-
Outdoor Unit: The outdoor unit houses the compressor and condenser, which are responsible for cooling or heating the air. It is typically installed outside your home, connected to the indoor unit via refrigerant lines and electrical wiring.
The system works by either absorbing heat from the indoor air and expelling it outside (for cooling) or extracting heat from the outside air and bringing it inside (for heating). Modern split systems use inverter technology to regulate compressor speed, offering more precise temperature control and enhanced energy efficiency.
Key Benefits of Split Systems
-
Energy Efficiency: Split systems are renowned for their energy efficiency, especially with the advent of inverter technology. By adjusting the compressor speed to match the cooling or heating needs of the room, these systems minimize energy waste. As a result, you can enjoy lower energy bills while maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature.
-
Zone Control: Unlike central heating or cooling systems, split systems offer the ability to heat or cool individual rooms or zones. This means you can control the temperature in each room, ensuring comfort where you need it most while saving energy in unoccupied areas.
-
Quiet Operation: Split systems are designed for quiet operation. The outdoor unit does most of the noise-generating work, while the indoor unit operates with minimal sound, making them ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, or any space where noise is a concern.
-
Easy Installation: Split systems are relatively simple to install compared to ducted systems, as they require less invasive work. The indoor and outdoor units are connected by a small conduit, meaning there is no need for extensive ductwork. This makes split systems a good choice for both new builds and retrofitting existing homes.
-
Flexible Design Options: Split systems come in a range of styles to suit different spaces and aesthetic preferences. Whether you choose a wall-mounted unit, ceiling cassette, or floor-standing model, you can find a design that blends seamlessly into your home decor.
-
Heating and Cooling in One System: Split systems provide both heating and cooling, making them a versatile solution for year-round comfort.
-
Improved Air Quality: Modern split systems come with advanced air filtration technologies that can help improve indoor air quality by removing dust, allergens, and other airborne pollutants. This is particularly beneficial for those with allergies or respiratory conditions.
Maintenance
As these units are designed with a filtration system, having your split system annually serviced and deep cleaned helps to remove any mould, allergens or pollutants that can collect inside the unit. This will ensure optimal airflow and quality and will help the split systems longevity.
