Why choose a split system air conditioner?

A split system air conditioner can offer many benefits to Canberran homes. Some of the reasons to choose a split system include:

  • Space saving: A split system air conditioner takes up less space than a ducted system, which makes them perfect for apartments and smaller homes.
  • Specialised climate control: Split systems can offer you precise control over the temperature in each room where they’re installed, especially in smaller rooms and spaces.
  • Noise: Compared to other types of air conditioning, split systems can be relatively quiet while in operation.
  • Easy installation: A split system air conditioner is less time and labour intensive to install than a ducted system, and generally requires no modifications to your building.
  • Great placement flexibility: The indoor components of a split system air con can be installed on your walls or ceilings in most cases, ideal for homes where space is at a premium.

How split system air conditioners work

A split system air conditioner consists of an indoor and an outdoor unit. The outdoor unit is used to expel warm air from inside your home, while the indoor unit distributes cool air into your home.

When heating your home, the process is reversed. Your outdoor unit will draw in air and warm it by reversing your refrigerant’s cycle before pumping warm air back into your home. Systems that are capable of this function are known as reverse cycle air conditioners.

Features to look for in split system air conditioners

Before purchasing a split system air conditioner, it’s worth noting some of the key features that could be beneficial for your home and usage:

  • Energy efficiency: The higher your system’s energy efficiency rating, money on your energy bills.
  • Reverse cycle: If you need to cool and warm your home, it’s best to opt for a reverse cycle air conditioner, which can do both.
  • Smart features: Wi-Fi controls can allow you to operate your split system from your phone, so you can change settings even when you’re not home.
  • Air purifiers and filters: Choosing a model with air purifiers can be very beneficial for family members with allergies or respiratory issues.
  • Sleep mode: Allows you to adjust your air conditioner’s operations to save energy while you’re sleeping.

It’s called a split system air conditioner because it’s made up of 2 parts: The indoor unit, for blowing processed air into your home, and the outdoor unit, used to remove warm air from the inside of your home and transfer it outside. The indoor and outdoor units are connected by a series of pipes, which saves space in your home.
Some of the most popular air conditioner brands that create split systems include Braemar, Daikin, Brivis, Rinnai and Mitsubishi Electric.
A single split system air conditioner isn’t as efficient at heating or cooling multiple rooms or large areas of a home compared with ducted systems. As well as this, the outdoor unit can be noisy if it’s not maintained properly.
In general, a split system air conditioner will have lower installation costs than a ducted system. Their running costs can vary over time, depending on the frequency of use, the size of space being heated or cooled, and the number of rooms that are being serviced.
The 3 minute rule for air conditioners refers to the idea that you should wait at least 3 minutes after shutting your air conditioner off before turning it on again. By following this rule, you will put your air conditioner’s compressor under less strain and extend your system’s lifespan.
With the right maintenance and care, a split system air conditioner can last between 10 and 15 years before showing any signs of serious breakdown or replacement
No. Installing any type of air conditioner by yourself is illegal, unless you happen the possess the necessary qualifications. Rely on professionals to install your system.
If your air conditioner starts to make strange noises regularly, pumps out warm air instead of cool, or short cycles, then it may be time to consider replacing it.
Here’s a quick DIY guide for cleaning a split system air conditioning. Remember to adhere to manufacturer requirements, and rely on profressionals like Climate Plus for deeper cleans at regular intervals. To clean your split system air conditioner, you should first turn off the power before removing the filter cover on your internal unit. You can then wipe away any dust and even use a small vacuum cleaner attachment to remove any particularly stubborn clumps. For your outdoor unit, be sure to remove any debris and clean the condenser coils (if safe), and allow everything to dry before turning your system back on. You should regularly clean or change air filters per manufacturer instructions.
Many split system air conditioners are reverse cycle systems; the manufacturer’s information should indicate this. However, some models may only be cooling systems. Be sure to check all information on your desired air conditioner with the manufacturer to make sure you’re choosing the right split system model for your needs.
