What Are Split System Air Conditioners?
You may have heard of the term ‘split cycle air conditioners’, but what does it actually mean? Split cycle systems are one of the more popular ways to heat or cool the individual rooms in your home. Unlike ducted air conditioners, split-cycle units can be individually placed in the rooms that you need them most, giving you the versatility to turn on and off different rooms as needed.
The setup of split-cycle air conditioning units is also a little bit different. With two separate units, they come with an indoor unit that spreads the temp-controlled air into your room, and an outdoor unit that handles all the backend heating and cooling processes. With a ‘split’ design, this allows the unit itself to operate quietly in the background whilst delivering reliable temperature control whenever and wherever you need it most. So, whether you’re cooling down your bedroom, living room or open-plan space during summer, you can enjoy the convenience of split-cycle air cons without the need for ducting.
Types of Split System Air Conditioning Units
While all split system aircons are designed to help you seamlessly control your indoor living areas, there are a few types of air conditioning units you can choose from, with unique features and functions that are well-suited to a range of environments based on your needs. The most popular types of air conditioners include:
Reverse Cycle Air Conditioners
Reverse cycle split aircons are designed to transfer heat rather than generate it, helping heat or cool your home more efficiently. When you’re trying to cool down your room, these air conditioners extract the warm air from inside and release it outdoors, leaving you with a cooler temperature inside. On the other hand, when you want to heat your room, you draw in heat from the outside air and pump it into your desired area.
Inverter Air Conditioners
Instead of switching on and off like traditional air conditioning units, inverter air conditioners work by automatically adjusting the speed of the compressor to maintain a consistent temperature at all times. As a more energy efficient aircon model, this means they can increase or decrease their power as needed to maintain a comfy temperature as you need it.
Cooling Only Air Conditioners
You’ll find a range of split system air conditioning units at Stan Cash that come with ‘cooling only’ functions. This means that these models are designed purely to keep your home cool and comfortable during the warmer months.
How To Choose the Best Air Con for Your Space
Choosing the right air conditioning setup for your space comes down to a wide variety of factors that can influence your air flow and ultimate comfort. This means that when you’re shopping for a split system air conditioning unit, you should be asking yourself the following questions:
What size is the room I need to heat or cool?
To make sure you choose a split cycle aircon that adequately heats or cools your room, it’s important to consider the room size to determine the power and kW rating you’ll need to sustain the temperature control of your room for as long as you need.
How are you going to manage running costs?
Air conditioners are known to be costly to run, but there are many ways you can help to keep your running costs lower and improve your energy efficiency. Choosing models with eco modes and strong star ratings will help you to reduce your power consumption and cool/heat your room in comfort without stressing about the electrical bill.
What type of features are you looking for?
Modern split system air conditioners come with a range of modern features that make heating and cooling your area that much more convenient and efficient. This includes popular features like Wi-Fi connectivity, timers, sleep modes, and air purification filters. Read the full product description to learn about what features your desired split system model offers.
Where will the split-cycle units be installed?
Another important consideration is knowing where your split-cycle unit will be installed. Since split-cycle units come with both indoor and outdoor units, you need to consider the indoor and outdoor wall space, noise sensitivity, and how easy the systems are to install.
