Split System Air Conditioners

Efficient Affordable and perfect to cool an area

What is a split system air conditioner?

A split system air conditioner gets its name from its configuration – the system includes an internal unit and an external unit, so is ‘split’. Quiet and energy-efficient, split systems draw air from the outside, heat or cool it, and deliver the air via a wall-mounted unit.

What are the benefits of split system air conditioning?

Split system air conditioners are one of the most popular heating and cooling solutions in Australia. Here are five benefits to keep top of mind:

Split system air conditioners are easier to install.

Unlike ducted systems, split system air conditioners do not require internal ductwork. Instead, the two units are mounted on walls or other areas and connected with tubing and cables.

Split system air conditioners can be more energy efficient.

In general, a split system demands less energy than a ducted system. Unlike ducted air conditioning – which cools large zones or entire homes – split system units work best in areas that can be closed off.

Split system air conditioners are a cheaper heating and cooling solution.

Thanks to their straightforward installation and energy efficiency, split system air conditioners can be a cheaper solution.

Split systems allow you to heat and cool select areas.

Yes, ducted systems can be zoned, but if you just want to keep your living room cool during the hot summer months, it might not be worth forking out the cash to duct the kitchen and bedrooms.

Instead, a single split system unit installed in a strategic location may be all that’s required to meet your needs.

Split system air conditioners require little maintenance.

Ducted air conditioners require regular maintenance to ensure they are running at peak performance. In contrast, split systems require little maintenance, saving you even more money in the long run.

How big does my air conditioner need to be?

Split system air conditioners are generally sized in kilowatts (KW). The KW rating measures the unit’s output, and the higher the number, the larger the area a system can cool.

To calculate how big your air conditioner needs to be, first consider the size of the room or area you’d like to heat and cool. Then, multiply that number in metres squared by 0.14. The formula looks like this:

Total floor area to be cooled and heated x 0.14KW = size of split system air conditioner

The below table offers some general size guidelines.

Area to be cooled (metres squared)	Split system air conditioner size (KW)
16 (small bedroom)	2.5
25 (large bedroom)	3.5
30 (average-sized living area)	4.2
50 (open-plan living area)	7+

Your area’s ceiling height, sun exposure, and insulation will also determine the size of unit you need. For a quick, accurate, and personalised quote, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
