Is a split wall console air conditioning system, or a ducted system best for your home?
A ‘split’ system air conditioning system is an ideal choice for most homeowners. It will cool small to large rooms efficiently and cost-effectively as long as the unit is well chosen and how or when it is used. A ducted system can also be a ‘split’ system so a better way to describe it is to call it a wall console unit versus a ceiling ducted one.
The cost to run it is dependent on a few variables, such as matching the size of the system to your room, the heat loads it is dealing with, and the brand of the unit. Different rooms have different heat loads such as whether the unit is cooling a west-facing room in your home or an east-facing one.
There are premium brands that are far more efficient and reliable than the cheaper brands. Having an experienced company that also services air conditioning systems is important, to advise you on the best systems to use from years of their experience. When reverse cycle split system air conditioners use reverse mode the system pumps out toasty warm air which is perfect for winter.
