Split System Installation Glen Iris

How Do Split Systems Work?

Split air conditioning systems get their name because of half the system (condenser) being outside the house while the other portion (fan coil) is located inside. While cooling, hot air that is inside the room is brought in from the fan coil before being removed, resulting in cool air flowing back into the home. The reverse cycle permits the heat pump to operate in reverse, providing heating during cold days.

Systems for split air conditioners can be placed in rooms, areas or multiple rooms linked by copper pipe connecting to the outdoor unit (condenser). Systems with multi-head splits can be used in as many as nine rooms using just one outdoor unit and allow for separate temperature control for each room.

What Are The Ongoing Costs For Split Systems?

One of the most recommended brands to use for Split Systems is Mitsubishi Electric. If you are looking for a Mitsubishi Electric GE Series 2.5KW Split System, installed in an unassuming room that provides regular cooling and heating throughout the summer and winter months, the annual running cost is $272.34.

Reduced Costs of Split Systems Operating Costs

It’s not difficult to reduce your running costs by using the Split System. Depending on the model that you purchase, and the star rating will determine how much you will save each year. However looking beyond the initial cost and how you will use the Split System can help as well.

Tips For Using A Split System

• Set the thermostat to 24C and 26C to allow for cooling. Each degree less in summer increases the running cost by around 10%.
• Choose the economy option when your split has one. You should also regularly maintain your air conditioning.
• Keep the sun’s heat away by closing curtains as well as external blinds during the daytime. Close all doors and windows in areas that are cooling when the split system is on.
• When the split system has been shut off and the cooler outside, you can open doors along with windows, allowing the cool air inside.
• Insulate your property to help keep the heat out in summer and inside during winter.
• Dress according to the weather.

Why Choose Split Systems?

Wall mounted split air conditioning systems are the most commonly used air conditioning systems for homes, as they are affordable and easy to maintain.

Inverter Technology

Inverter technology is the most effective way to enjoy more comfort throughout the year because it maintains an even temperature, helps save costs (less energy use) and creates a lot less sound when it is used. This is achieved through control of the compressor’s rotation speed more precisely.

Affordable

Wall mounted split AC models are most affordable option for a one room apartment, small home or even a studio since they are inexpensive to buy (depending on the number of indoor units you require) and don’t need installation of ducts.

Independent Temperature Control

Each indoor unit is able to control the area it is placed in, which means that each room is able to have distinct temperature.

Air Quality

Many split air conditioning systems come with air filtering functions and humidity control that regulate the amount of dust and humidity within a room. This provides those with sensitive skin (children or elderly, asthmatic or allergic consumers) an ease of mind and body.

Multi-Head Split Systems

Multi-Head Split Systems allow multiple indoor units to be connected to a single outdoor condenser which provides the convenience of having the best AC (in terms of output and physical constraints) for the room you are in.

Do I need to replace or fix my air conditioner?

In the majority of situations, if your air conditioner is more than 10 years and you have apparent issues with your air conditioner, there is a good likelihood that it is cheaper to replace rather than fix.

To help you make the best decision for your needs, talk to the experts at ComfyHome to provide you with an honest evaluation of the condition of your air conditioner.

What size of split system air conditioner do I need?

The standard measurements ratio is multiply the room area by a factor of 0.15 in order to determine the power of the unit in kilowatt.

If you have a room size that is 40 sqm, you’ll require a split air conditioning system of 6 kW. A cooling unit of 2.5kW is perfect for 10 -20 sqm room spaces.

However, the amount of the Split system air conditioning required can be affected by other variables such as the insulation in the room, the number of occupants and residents’ location.
