Split System Air Conditioners

What is a Split System Air Conditioner?

A split system air conditioner is one of the most common and recognisable heating and cooling systems that you'll find in many homes across Australia.

You might also refer to it as a ductless air conditioner. It has two parts; an indoor wall-mounted unit that distributes conditioned air to a single room, and an outdoor unit. Working together they use refrigerant gas to produce cool or warm air. Finally, this air is delivered to the home through vents on the wall-mounted indoor unit.

Reverse cycle split system air conditioners are ideal for heating or cooling one room or a specific area of the home. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and designs, making them a flexible heating and cooling solution.

What is a Multi-Split Air Conditioning System?

If you are looking to heat more than one room, it would be worth considering a multi-split air conditioning system.

Multi-split systems allow you to have up to five separate indoor units heating or cooling rooms throughout your home. The benefit of multi-split systems is that each indoor unit can be individually controlled, scheduled and set to a different temperature for each room. All at the same time.

Benefits of Regular Split System Service

We recommend having split systems serviced on a regular basis as a way of maintaining energy efficiency and minimising environmental impact. Firstly, preventative maintenance prolongs the lifespan of your system.

Secondly, servicing prevents minor problems from turning into more serious and costly issues. Regular servicing also ensures optimal air quality which is important for you and your family's health.

Metropolitan Heating and Cooling services all makes and models, including well-known brands Mitsubishi Electric, LG, Daikin, Panasonic, Rinnai, Fujitsu split systems, and many more.

The benefits of a regular split system or mini split system service are:

• Protecting your health: Dirt and debris can build up inside your split system AC, and these particles can spread throughout the air in your home. If you or a family member suffer from allergies or asthma, it's especially important to service your unit to keep the air fresh and clean.
• Saving your money: Along with the health benefits of a clean machine, regular filter cleaning can help the split system run more effectively. If it isn't running at an optimal level, the machine is working harder to control the temperature and using more energy to do so. Therefore your energy bills will increase.
• Increasing durability: Regular servicing, especially after peak periods of use in winter and summer, can prolong the life of your ductless air conditioner and pick up minor repairs before they go beyond repair. This usually prevents the need for a completely new system, in most cases.

When performing a service, our qualified technicians will:

• Check the refrigerant gas levels
• Test the thermostat
• Ensure all internal components are in good working order
• Ensure there is no build-up of debris restricting airflow
• Catch minor problems before they go beyond repair

For optimal energy efficiency, precise temperature control, and minimal negative environmental impact, maintaining a consistent maintenance schedule for your reverse cycle split system air conditioner is crucial.
