What Is A Split Air Conditioner? | Split Ac Units Guide 2022

In the heat and humidity of the summer, everyone enjoys arriving at a cool, comfortable home. However, window units are bulky and noisy and a central air conditioning system is expensive. A split air conditioner may be the ideal solution if you are looking for an affordable, subtle way to add more cool air to your house.

 

A split system air conditioner is one of the most common types of air conditioners on the market today. Split air conditioner systems operate in accordance with different, more effective operating principles, yet serve the same functions as a central air conditioning system.

 

The most widely used and in-demand type of air conditioning in Australia is the split system. In fact, split air conditioning is used in millions of households nationwide to beat the summer heat. 

 

You can only fully appreciate why this kind of air conditioner is a great option for controlling the temperature in your home once you understand how a split AC system functions and how much it differs from other options.

 

What Is A Split Air Conditioner?

Two components make up a split air conditioner, one of which is kept inside the facility and the other of which is placed outside the property. Pipes and electrical wires that connect these units let the refrigerant flow between them and produce a cooling effect.

 

The unit that makes the greatest noise and takes up the most room is the bigger, outside model. Indoor units can be put practically wherever in the property that they are needed and are quieter and smaller.

 

Modern split air conditioners are also equipped with remote controls, which make it possible to control them from a single location, though not usually the same one as the indoor unit. To supply heat in the winter and cold air in the summer, they can also be combined with heat pump systems.

 

Installing The Split Air Conditioner

There should be no question that only a professional should perform split system installation. The installation of a split air conditioner may differ depending on the manufacturer. Using a professional’s assistance is the most accurate approach to determine the best split system size for your house. They can help you choose the ideal air conditioner based on your demands because they have years of work experience.

 

The Cost

The cost of installing any system, including split air conditioning systems, is usually difficult to estimate because there are so many different aspects to consider. In addition to the system’s type, consider its energy efficiency rating, the location of installation, and the labor required for wall-mounted air conditioning units.

 

Depending on where you are in Australia, prices might range from $600 to $6000. Usually, this installation fee will be charged in addition to the unit’s purchase price. Typically, a technician will bill between $50 and $100 per hour. The system alone will cost you between $600 and $750.

 

However, there are a number of additional factors that will affect the final cost of installing an AC in Australia, including:

 

  • Unit size.
  • The type of air conditioning unit.
  • Any additional materials are needed for installation.

 

Ducted Air Conditioning

When using a ducted aircon single split system, your home will have one ducted aircon inside and one condenser outdoors. If you choose a ducted multi-split system, however, you’ll have one condenser outside your home and several ducted air conditioners inside your property.

 

In general, a ducted aircon costs more than a ductless aircon. The price of ductwork is frequently determined by how many dollars per sq ft. It costs more if the ductwork is particularly long and has numerous bends. Additionally, when the duct area increased, so did the price of insulation.

Just had my air conditioning installed by KYC and am thoroughly impressed by the company as a whole. From the initial meeting at my house through to commissioning they were all extremely polite, friendly, respectful and above all professional. Chris came to my house and came up with a design that no other companies had thought of which suited my house and needs perfectly, and at a better price than the other quotes I received. They came and completed the job in the specified time, tidied up after themselves and said goodbye with a smile. I can’t recommend this company enough.
