Wall mounted Split Systems

Advantages

Wall mounted split systems are the most popular type of A/C unit. This is due to their low purchase and installation cost and also their ability to be used as a heater in winter. The term “split” refers to the unit effectively being split in half. The indoor unit gets mounted on one side of the wall and the outdoor unit gets mounted outside (within 20 metres of the indoor unit, but the closer it is, the cheaper the install costs). This means the noisy part, the compressor, is outside so the indoor unit is very quiet with only a slight fan noise. The systems available range from small units suitable for a small study right up to large units suitable for large open living areas (up to 100 square metres). We supply, install and service the three top brands, Fujitsu, Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric.

Wall mounted split systems can utilise the solar panels on your roof to offset the cooling costs through summer.

Disadvantages

They are usually only suited to one room or area. If you want your whole home cooled, you will likely need one in the living area and one in each bedroom. It can therefore get expensive when multiple units are required.
