What is a Split System Air Conditioner?
A split system air conditioner consists of two main components: an indoor unit, typically mounted on the wall, and an outdoor unit, known as the condenser. The indoor unit is the recognizable wall-mounted section that provides heating and cooling.
Also referred to as ductless or reverse cycle air conditioners, these systems are perfect for controlling the temperature of individual rooms. For added flexibility, multi-head systems connect multiple indoor units to a single outdoor unit, each functioning independently. These indoor units can vary in size to suit different room requirements,
Air Conditioning Repairs
Many homeowners assume that once an air conditioner is installed, no further attention is needed. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Annual maintenance and regular cleaning are critical for every air conditioning unit.
Reverse cycle air conditioners, in particular, need consistent upkeep since they are used throughout the year for both heating and cooling. The constant airflow leads to dust accumulating in filters, parts wearing out, and vents becoming dirty.
If you skip routine servicing, your system’s performance and energy efficiency will suffer. It will have to work harder to maintain the desired temperature, which not only decreases its efficiency but also hikes up your electricity bills while cooling or heating power remains the same—or even drops.
A professional air conditioning service resolves these problems by replacing or repairing faulty parts and giving your system a full clean. Alro Air & Electrical offers round-the-clock emergency repairs, ensuring your split system is always in top condition.
With 24/7 availability, we can respond quickly during a heatwave without charging extra for after-hours work. Count on us for fast, reliable split system service whenever you need it!
What Are The Advantages to a Split System?
Split system air conditioners are a versatile and popular choice for homes due to their easy installation and non-invasive nature, particularly when operating in quiet mode. Unlike ducted systems, they require minimal disruption, and maintenance is straightforward. Both residential and commercial properties can benefit from their efficient heating and cooling capabilities.
Top air conditioner brands like Daikin, LG, Fujitsu, Rinnai, and Mitsubishi Electric offer a wide range of models and kilowatt outputs to suit different needs.

Split System Air Conditioner FAQ
Choosing the right size air conditioner for your home involves several key factors. Start by assessing the room size and its specific cooling needs. For smaller rooms, the cooling requirements differ from those of larger, open-plan spaces. A good rule of thumb is to allocate about 1kW of cooling power for every 10 square meters. Avoid units that are too small, which will overwork, or too large, which will waste energy. Additionally, consider ceiling height, insulation, sunlight exposure, and how the room is used. Comparing different air conditioner models will help you make the best choice for your needs.
Split systems work great for cooling single areas, such as a bedroom or living area, but do not work well at cooling multiple rooms. You may consider a multi-head split system or a ducted split for this. A multi-head split setup features several indoor units connected to a single outdoor condenser. Each indoor unit can operate independently, offering flexibility and energy savings by cooling only the rooms you use. Unlike ducted systems, multi-head units are also less intrusive, providing an effective and customisable climate control solution for your entire home.
An inverter reverse cycle air conditioner is one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat or cool your home. Inverter technology allows the compressor to adjust its speed based on the room’s temperature. Instead of fully switching on or off, it speeds up or slows down to maintain comfort. This reduces the energy used for starting up repeatedly, leading to lower power consumption and better performance. With less energy wasted, you’ll save money on your electricity bills while keeping your home comfortable.
