Split System FAQ
How Does Split System Air Conditioning Work?
Split system air conditioner units are one of the most popular types of air conditioning appliances and they work based on the same refrigeration principles as ducted systems.
In cooling mode warm air from inside your home is drawn into the air conditioner indoor unit where it passes over the coil which is filled with refrigerant.
The refrigerant absorbs the heat and some of the moisture from the air passing over the coil. This refrigerant is then pumped to the outside unit where it rejects the heat, condenses and changes the state of the refrigerant and then sends it back to start the journey again.
The popularity of split system air conditioner installation comes mostly from their size and affordability. With two components that only need to be joined by interconnecting pipes and electrical cabling, split system air conditioners can be installed in almost any room.
While they are less powerful than larger systems, split systems are an efficient way to cool individual spaces in the home without breaking the bank.
What is involved in a split system installation?
The split system air conditioner installation process is straight forward. It involves:
- Drilling holes to run power cables and refrigerant pipes
- Running pipes and wiring through the wall or roof space
- Mounting the internal unit on the wall bracket
- Mounting the outdoor unit
- Connecting the electrical and pipework
- Pressure and leak test pipework
- Commission and test the system
An experienced technician can undertake a split system air conditioner installation in 4-5 hours. Prior to installation, your technician will visit your home to measure and assess your space. Once they know the size of the room, calculate heat loads and the positioning of things like windows and doors, they’ll be able to recommend the right system for your home.
What to consider when choosing a split system?
There is lots to consider when choosing a split system air conditioner. You’ll need to think about:
- Energy efficiency ratings
- Power output
- Your budget
- Whether you need cooling and heating
- The size and layout of your room
- The position of doors and windows
- Ongoing maintenance requirements
The technician doing the split system air conditioner installation will take care of most of the hard work. They’ll be able to measure and assess your space to help decide which system is right for you. We always recommend choosing the best air conditioner in your price range. High quality air conditioners last longer and consume less power, making them a better investment in the long run.
Why is split system filtration technology important?
Split system air conditioners contain filters that remove contaminants like dust, pollen, pollution, bacteria and viruses from the air. This improves air quality and protects your family from allergies and illness. With regular maintenance, a split system air conditioner is one of the best ways to purify the air on your home.
Where is it ideal to install split type air conditioners?
A split system air conditioners’ outdoor unit should be installed in a location that is:
- Protected from direct sunlight
- Well ventilated
- Away from trees that will drop leaves on the condenser
- Accessible for carrying out maintenance
Installing your split system air conditioner in the right position improves energy efficiency and ensures the unit provides effective heating and cooling. A technician will be able to recommend the ideal location for installing your new split system air conditioner Adelaide wide.
Who can install my air conditioning?
In Australia, air conditioners must be installed by a technician that holds a Refrigerant Handling Licence issued by The Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC). Only Licensed Refrigeration Mechanics are trained to install, repair and maintain air conditioners. They have the skills needed to install and commission your air conditioner’s refrigerant and electrical systems.
