What is a Split System?

SPF Air & Electrical are split system air conditioning experts and have been providing reliable split system air conditioners in northern NSW for years. We can supply and install a new split system, or repair and maintain your existing cooling system.

Split systems are ideal for controlling the temperature of a single room in your home. A split air conditioner comprises two main parts: and outdoor and an indoor unit. The outdoor unit is usually installed on the outside wall of the room or space you want to cool, while the unobtrusive looking indoor unit distributes the cool air throughout the room.

Unlike ducted systems, a split system doesn’t require ductwork, which gives you more flexibility on where you can mount it. This is one of the reasons that split systems are so popular for units and apartments.

Split systems are great for cooling down larger spaces like living rooms, dining areas or master bedrooms. Most split system models are built using inverter technology and are more energy-efficient compared than other types of air conditioners.

Some split system models provide cooling in warm weather and also heating when temperatures start to drop. This is called reverse cycle air conditioning. Other split system models are equipped with dehumidifying features and advanced filtration systems that help improve air quality in homes while filtering microscopic particles and removing bacteria.
