What Is a Split System Air Conditioner?
A split system air conditioner is one of the most popular and effective ways to heat or cool individual rooms and small commercial spaces. It consists of two main components:
An indoor unit mounted high on a wall that delivers conditioned air into the room
An outdoor unit (the condenser) placed outside the building that expels heat and powers the system
The two components are connected by small, insulated pipes carrying refrigerant and power. This configuration allows for:
Quiet operation with no noisy compressors inside the room
Targeted temperature control for specific spaces
Energy efficiency with A+ rated performance and optional smart controls
Split systems are ideal for environments where ductwork isn’t practical or necessary—such as home offices, bedrooms, salons, meeting rooms, and treatment clinics. They’re compact, stylish, and can often be installed in a single day.
