There are a number of air conditioning types that can be described as ‘split’. Split air conditioners consist of outer and inner components which are connected by an electric cable and two copper pipes along which the refrigerant flows to and from the internal and external components. The larger part of the air conditioning system which contains the compressor is outside whilst the internal component is much smaller, lighter and quieter and can be placed (depending in the design), in almost any part of the inside air space. 

Modern split air conditioning systems are equipped with remote control, and usually are equipped with a heat pump facility for heating in the winter months. The combination of sophisticated controls and a heat pump means that the internal air spaces can effectively be ‘climate controlled’ by modern split air conditioning systems keeping the room temperature to within 1-2 degrees of the temperature setting. Most split air conditioning systems now have a number of control modes and timers so that the operation of the unit can be pre programmed in considerable detail. Even the direction and swing operation of the discharge louvers can usually be set. On the indoor component there is always a coarse air filter to protect the coils from large particles and often there are also fine filters and air purification equipment built in to remove fine dust, tobacco smoke, plant pollen, odours and chemical pollutants, etc.

These air conditioning systems are essentially the same as the split systems except that there are a number of indoor units linked to one external unit. This type of air conditioning system invariably requires a larger, more powerful external unit. However, it does allow the same type of indoor unit variants for the single split systems and even allows for different types of indoor units being run from the same condenser, e.g. a floor mounted unit in one room, ceiling cassette in another and a wall mounted unit in yet another room.Typically, multi split systems can link between 2 and 5 internal units to one single external unit. 

The same methods explained in the single room and multi room air conditioning also apply in home and caravan installations. 

One of the main reasons that people struggle to sleep at night is due to uncomfortable temperatures. Air Conditioners can instantly and efficiently solve both these situations, and they are less expensive than you may think.

Industry has made strides in making sure that air conditioning systems are remarkably quiet, limiting unwanted noise. It also allows you to leave windows closed to avoid outside noise that may also affect your sleep and increase the security of your home.
