You might want to escape the summer heat and enjoy a comfortable home regardless of the outdoor temperature. In that case, you may be considering installing air conditioning in your house. Here are several possible configurations to help you work out what's best for your home.
Single Split System
The term split system refers to the set-up of air conditioning units in which the compressor unit is outdoors, and the other components are inside blowing cool air into your house. A single split system is ideal if you don't have a vast area or multiple rooms to manage.
You'll need to work out the appropriate capacity in terms of kilowatts. To do this, measure the meterage of the floor area the unit will need to cool, taking the ceiling height into account. Several other factors influence how powerful a unit you'll require. For example, if a room has large windows that face the afternoon sun, the space would get hotter than if the windows faced a different direction and were smaller. Your home's insulation also makes a difference, as does the local climate. Ask your aircon service about the best capacity for your situation.
Multi-Split System
If you want to cool several different rooms and areas in your home, you might consider a multi-split system. These operations consist of one outdoor unit that is connected to several indoor fan components. These systems provide central control, which increases their efficiency. For example, you can direct cold air to living areas where people are sitting rather than cooling other empty rooms.
An alternative to installing a multi-split system is fitting several single split system units, which results in multiple outdoor components around the building. With a multi-split system, you won't have so many outdoor units that they become an eyesore in the garden.
Ducted System
Ducted systems are the most involved and extensive air conditioning arrangements. They cool an entire home, even multiple storeys. The compressor is built outside or on the roof, out of sight. It delivers cool air via a duct network installed in the ceiling cavity or through the walls. The cold air is supplied into vents that are constructed in each room.
You have central control with these systems, so you can divide your home into zones, such as a daytime and night-time zone. Another benefit is that your house won't have big, bulky air conditioning components on the walls. For more information, contact an aircon service.
Hello! My name is Jake. I am the kind of guy who finds out about a subject and then who must learn everything he can about it. A subject I have focused on in recent times is HVAC. This might seem a little strange. However, my interest was sparked when an HVAC contractor visited my home to install a new air con system. He was really friendly and he took the time to answer my questions. Since then, I have been doing everything I can to learn about HVAC. I hope you enjoy reading what I have written on my blog.
