If you are after a versatile and cost effective solution to both cool and heat your home, then a Split System installation may be the right choice for you.
What is a Split System?

A split system is a combined heating and cooling solution, designed to provide year-round comfort in your home. These consist of two components namely an indoor unit, mounted on the wall, and an outdoor unit, which houses the compressor and condenser. Working together, they will help regulate the temperature for you to enjoy both heating and cooling with ease.
Split System Air Conditioning Installations in Melbourne are especially well-suited for smaller homes and apartments, as they don’t require extensive ductwork, making split system installation hassle-free than ever. For homes with multiple rooms, multi-head split systems are also available, providing flexibility to heat or cool multiple areas with a single outdoor unit.

Understanding How Split Systems Work
A split system works by splitting the process into two key units. The unit fitted outdoors is for releasing heat, the indoor one circulates the conditioned air. During cooling, the system pulls in warm air from inside the room, removes the heat, and replaces it with cool air. For heating, the system reverses the process, extracting heat from the outside air and releasing it into your room.
Wall Mounted Split Systems in Melbourne are ideal for single rooms or open-plan spaces, providing efficient temperature control without the need for ducts. For homes that require heating or cooling in multiple rooms, a multi-head split system is an excellent choice. This system allows up to 9 rooms to be controlled with a single outdoor unit, offering a practical and cost-effective solution for homes with more complex heating and cooling needs.

We Recommend Daikin Split Systems
On their most basic level, split systems are an internal fan-cooled head unit with an outside condenser unit. However, a single external condenser can link multiple head units thus eliminating the need for more than one. Warm air inside the room is drawn outside to be replaced with cool air. The system is maintained by the user who specifies a temperature which is then thermostatically controlled, based on the desired temperature. Split systems recirculate air and are most efficient in a sealed room. They are ideal for a single room and can deliver both warm and cool air if they happen to be reverse-cycle.
