How it works
An indoor head paired with an outdoor condenser.
A wall split is two boxes: an indoor head high on the wall and an outdoor condenser outside, joined by insulated copper pipe and a cable. Refrigerant carries heat from the room to the outdoor unit in summer, and from the outside air into the room in winter. A fan in the head pushes air across a cold coil and out through the louvre at you.
It is the workhorse of Perth air conditioning: quiet, efficient, quick to install and by far the cheapest way to make a room genuinely liveable through summer. Most homes in the metro area have at least one.
Multi-split
Where you want several rooms done and cannot have several outdoor units, a multi-split runs two to five indoor heads off one condenser. It costs more than a single split, less than ducted, and it is the answer for a lot of apartments, townhouses and strata units.
