Air conditioners that
fit into this category are split into two functioning components. The compressor/condenser
section is located outside your home to ensure quiet operation, while the section housing
the evaporator is positioned within the room. To give greater flexibility, the evaporator
units may be mounted either below the ceiling on the wall or be of a console
type that simply stands on the floor. Either way,
the units have a free flow fan that circulates the conditioned air. The two sections may
be installed some distance apart, but must be interconnected by means of refrigerant
piping and electrical wiring.
Split system air conditioners are also available in a wide
range of capacities to suit most rooms. Reverse cycle models make it a good, year-round
investment.
Split System Installation
The installation of a split system air conditioner takes an average of four hours and cost
varies with the length of the refrigerant line separating the inside and outside
components, and the construction of the house.
