How Does a Split System Air Conditioner Work?

While split systems are a common term, their precise definition may elude many. Essentially, they comprise an internal and an external unit, forming a versatile heating and cooling system.

The outdoor unit, also known as the condenser, works in tandem with the wall-mounted internal unit, which is the component most readily recognisable in split systems. Other monikers for this setup include ductless AC and reverse cycle air conditioning.

Designed for heating or cooling specific rooms, split systems offer flexibility, with multi-head systems enabling multiple internal units to connect to a single outdoor unit, each operating independently. Units come in various sizes to suit the dimensions of individual rooms.

Installation of split systems is typically straightforward and non-intrusive, as they do not require ductwork, simplifying maintenance procedures.

At Upside Down Air Conditioning, our HVAC technicians are proficient with leading brands such as Daikin, LG, Fujitsu, Rinnai, Mitsubishi, and more. We offer a diverse range of kilowatt outputs to tailor a system precisely to the space you intend to regulate.

The Importance of Split System Maintenance

A common misconception is that once an air conditioner is installed, it requires minimal attention. However, neglecting regular maintenance is a grave error. Every AC unit, regardless of type, demands annual servicing and consistent cleaning to ensure optimal performance.

Reverse cycle air conditioners, in particular, warrant close attention due to their year-round usage. With continuous air circulation for both heating in winter and cooling in summer, dust accumulates in filters, components wear down, and vents become soiled.

Failure to maintain the system regularly results in diminished functionality. Consequently, it strains to perform its tasks during both seasons, leading to increased energy consumption. Despite higher electricity bills, the output of the split system remains stagnant or even declines.

An annual air conditioning service addresses these concerns effectively. It allows for the identification and rectification of faulty or damaged parts before they deteriorate further, regardless of the brand of your unit. When it comes to split system maintenance, Upside Down Air Conditioning is your go-to choice.

Rest assured, there’s no need to endure lengthy waits. Our team of HVAC technicians is available round-the-clock, every day of the year, including holidays and weekends. In emergencies, we can even arrive at your doorstep within an hour* of your call.

Frequently Asked Questions About Split Systems

Most split system air conditioners operate with both heating/cooling functions. The term reverse cycle is often interchangeable, as it just refers to an AC unit that provides cooling and heating. Reverse cycle systems can be ducted or split, and most leading brands provide these functions as a standard.

There are some dedicated cooling split systems, though, so it is highly recommended you double-check the specifications. You want to choose the best system for your home and needs.

Split systems excel at efficiently cooling individual living spaces or bedrooms, although a single unit typically isn’t sufficient for multiple rooms. If you’re seeking a solution that can effectively cool multiple areas such as a bedroom, lounge room, and dining room simultaneously, a multi-head split system is the ideal choice.

Functioning similarly to a standard split system, the multi-head variant features multiple internal units connected to a single external condenser. Each internal air conditioner operates independently, allowing for energy savings by using them as needed. Additionally, the multi-head option presents a non-invasive alternative to ducted air conditioning, providing flexible cooling solutions tailored to your specific requirements.

Modern heating and cooling systems boast higher efficiency compared to their older counterparts, even those manufactured just a decade ago. Additionally, they use fewer harmful hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Among these, H22 stands out as one of the most detrimental to the environment and ozone layer.

Both globally and in Australia, the phase-out of H22 has been underway, although older split systems may still contain this harmful refrigerant. Consequently, opting for replacement is often considered a superior alternative to repair for units aged 10 years or older. Regular maintenance plays a crucial role in identifying potential hazards such as refrigerant leaks, underscoring the importance of not delaying essential air conditioner services.

One of the most efficient ways to heat or cool your home is with inverter reverse cycle air conditioning. Inverter technology provides advanced climate control as the internal compressor motor self-adjusts to the room’s temperature.

Instead of turning on and off once it reaches the desired temperature, the compressor speeds up or slows down. This saves on energy costs associated with an air conditioner that has to constantly start-up. There is less power loss and less power usage, resulting in more efficient performance and lower electricity bills.

This saves on energy costs associated with an air conditioner that has to constantly start-up. There is both a reduced loss of power and less power usage, resulting in more efficient performance and lower electricity bills.

When selecting a split system AC, various factors come into play to determine the appropriate size and output for your needs.

These factors include the room’s size, presence of insulation in the ceiling or walls, geographical location, and room orientation.

As a general guideline, consider the following:

For a room measuring 10m² to 20m², opt for a 2.6kW unit.
For a room spanning 20m² to 30m², a 3.5kW unit is recommended.
Aim for a 5-6kW unit for rooms sized between 30m² and 45m².
Larger rooms ranging from 45m² to 65m² may require a 7-8kW unit.

An Upside Down Air Conditioning licensed HVAC technician will engage in detailed discussions with you to assess these factors and determine the best-suited option for your specific requirements.

  I thought I could just place the thermostat anywhere I liked but the Upside Down Air Conditioning guy recommended that it should be placed in an optimal location to avoid false readings. He determined the best placement for the thermostat and we're happy with the air conditioner installation.

  Had to replace grandpa's air conditioner but he insisted that it was fine! The Upside Down Air Conditioning guy was very friendly in fact grandpa wanted him to personally do the filter cleaning and replacement when it's time.

  The last lot were a bunch of dodgy operators who pulled the wool over my eyes. Shonky wiring, ducts that were smaller than a possum's nest - they really made a mess of it. But the Upside Down crew are fair dinkum legends. They chucked out the duds, sealed the ducts like a pro, and chucked in a top-shelf thermostat to boot. It's like the difference between chalk and cheese. Finally, I'm getting bang for me buck, d.
