Pros And Cons Of Split System Air Conditioning In Perth

Pros of split system air conditioning: 

Quiet 

Perfect for an office or bedroom, these units produce little noise as the indoor unit only blows air, with the outdoor unit doing the grunt work away from phone calls, meetings and sleepy heads. 

Versatile 

With the size of split systems they can be easily installed into rooms and offices without the indoor and outdoor unit taking up a lot of wall area. It also allows for the outdoor unit to be mounted on brackets which can be set at any height such as a second storey office (as shown in picture below). 

Cost effective

The upfront purchase and running costs are very cost effective compared to traditional ducted air con systems. Some units have an excellent energy rating which can be found on the suppliers website before purchasing. It is also quick to cool and heat individual rooms.

Installation & Maintenance

Installation doesn’t require cutting large holes for ducting or taking up valuable outdoor wall space. Maintenance is easy and generally only requires the dust filter to be removed and cleaned. 

Huge Selection of Units 

There is an abundance of split systems on the market to cater for all budgets. There are different sizes ranging from 2.6kw to 8kw units, options for reverse cycle split system air conditioning (heating and cooling) and big name brands to choose from.

Cons of split system air conditioning 

The outdoor unit is smaller in size compared to ducted but does still need to be mounted outside, the closer to the indoor unit the better. It can be a little loud outside as this is where the compressor is located but if maintained correctly it won’t be a bother.

Split systems are really only suited to heating one room and a larger size may be required for larger rooms.
