Blog > Air Conditioners: Which is Better?

Single split system and multi-split system air conditioners are two of the most common types of air conditioning systems chosen in Australia.

Both types of air conditioning systems contain an indoor and an outdoor unit.

The outdoor unit contains the noisier parts of the system like which greatly reduces the noise disturbance from air conditioning systems.

Single Split System Air Conditioners

A single split air conditioning system has one separate indoor and one outdoor unit, and they can be a surprisingly compact and unobtrusive addition to your home. Because single split systems only have one indoor unit, they are cheaper to install and they require less work and fewer pipelines.

Single split systems are ideal for targeted air conditioning. Compared to multi-split system air conditioning, the installation of single split systems is relatively straightforward, and there is only one unit to control, which can be easier.

AC installation always needs to be carried out by a qualified engineer and the job could be completed in around a day! Single split systems can be an economical choice, ideal for homes which are smaller sized or have less space for more than one unit.

Multi Split System Air Conditioners

Multi split systems contain one outdoor unit and multiple indoor units which can be placed in several rooms around the house. This enables a greater level of control over the temperature of your home and increases the amount of heating or cooling that is available.

Many people find that multi-split systems are more economical in the long run, as the different indoor units can be controlled separately. By having multiple units, this air conditioning system is ideal for bigger homes and businesses with multiple rooms.

Many homeowners find that they save money on their energy bills after installing a multi-split air conditioning system as they don't waste money in the rooms they aren't using. One outdoor unit can power up to four indoor units at the same time, so you can ensure that every room in the house is cool and comfortable.

You might also find that if you've got a family, many people find different temperatures comfortable or uncomfortable. A multi-split system means everyone can control their own unit so they have the ideal temperature for them.
