As temperatures begin to rise during the summer months, having a reliable air conditioning system in your home or office becomes a necessity rather than a luxury. But with so many different types of air conditioner on the market, it can be challenging to know which one is right for you. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at the main air conditioners we work with.

Split air conditioners
Split air conditioning systems consist of two main components: an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit is typically mounted on a wall or ceiling, while the outdoor unit is placed outside the building. Split systems are ideal for a range of uses including in homes, businesses and commercial spaces.
Split systems work by circulating refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor units. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the indoor unit and transfers it to the outdoor unit, where it’s released into the atmosphere.
They are easy to install and maintain, and offer quiet operation, making them a popular choice for residential and commercial applications. Split air conditioning units also provide improved indoor air quality, as they come equipped with air filters that remove dust, pollen, and other pollutants from the air, creating a healthier environment.
Multi split systems
Multi split air conditioning units are a type of air conditioning system that allows for multiple indoor units to be connected to a single outdoor unit. This system provides independent temperature control for each indoor unit, which makes it ideal for larger homes or commercial spaces.
The benefits of a multi split air conditioning unit include increased energy efficiency, as the system can be set up to only cool or heat the areas that are currently in use, reducing wasted energy.
Additionally, because there are multiple indoor units, occupants can adjust the temperature to their desired level without affecting others in the same space. The flexibility and cost-effectiveness of multi split air conditioning units make them a popular choice for those looking to efficiently cool or heat multiple spaces.
Mini VRF heat pump
Mini VRF heat pumps are a type of air conditioning system that utilise variable refrigerant flow technology. These systems provide heating and cooling to multiple indoor units from a single compact outdoor unit, making them ideal for those who don’t have much outdoor space.
Other benefits of the mini VRF heat pump air conditioning units include their high energy efficiency, as they can adjust the refrigerant flow to match the actual heating and cooling needs of each individual room. This results in reduced energy consumption and lower operating costs.
VRF heat recovery
VRF heat recovery air conditioning units are a type of air conditioning system that also utilise variable refrigerant flow technology to provide simultaneous heating and cooling to different zones within a building. These systems are designed to recover waste heat from one area of the building and transfer it to another area that requires heating.
The benefits of VRF heat recovery air conditioning units include their high energy efficiency, as they can recover up to 60% of the waste heat generated by the cooling process. This results in significant energy savings and reduced operating costs. Additionally, VRF heat recovery air conditioning units offer improved comfort and flexibility, as they allow for simultaneous heating and cooling within a building, regardless of the external temperature. They are also highly customisable and can be tailored to suit the specific requirements of each zone within a building, providing precise temperature control and improving indoor air quality.
How to choose the right type of air conditioning unit
Choosing the right type of air conditioning unit for homes and businesses requires careful consideration of several factors. Firstly, you should determine the size of the space that needs to be cooled and the layout of the area. Additionally, energy efficiency ratings and the cost of operation should be taken into account. It is also important to consider any specific needs, such as allergies or humidity control, and choose a unit that meets those requirements.
