Split systems come in a huge range of capacities and designs. The most commonly recognised and installed split systems are wall-mounted units with fan coils (otherwise known as evaporators). Wall-mounted split systems are commonly used in houses and apartments, as only two parts need to be installed: the indoor unit and the outdoor unit.
Split systems are generally a straightforward install, with no duct or vent work needed through the home, so installation is quicker and simpler than a ducted system.
A split system reverse cycle air conditioner has two main components: an indoor unit (fan coil or evaporator) and an outdoor unit (condenser), connected by piping. It runs on electricity and is commonly wall-mounted to heat or cool a single room or defined area, providing both heating and cooling from the one system.
In cooling mode, the indoor unit draws in warm air from the room, removes the heat, and recirculates cooled air back inside as the outdoor condenser releases the heat outside. In reverse-cycle mode the process runs in reverse, allowing the system to act as a heat pump and provide efficient heating during colder weather.
Coldflow provides a complete split system service, including installing new units, replacing existing systems, and ongoing maintenance. A dedicated service division handles routine servicing and repairs to keep split system air conditioners running efficiently and to address any issues that arise over time.
Eligible installations may qualify for government rebates on energy-efficient air conditioners when replacing a gas heater. Coldflow also promotes special split system offers from time to time and provides interest free finance, which can be discussed when requesting a free quote.
Split air conditioning systems take their name from the layout: half the system (the condenser) sits outside the house and the other half (the fan coil) is installed inside. When cooling, warm air from the room is drawn in by the fan coil and the heat removed, so cool air recirculates back into the house. Reverse cycle allows the heat pump to run in reverse to provide heating during cold days.
Split systems can be fitted to individual rooms, areas, or multiple rooms connected by copper piping to an outdoor condenser. Multi-head split systems can be installed for up to nine rooms with only one outdoor unit, allowing individual temperature control of each room.
One of our recommended brands for split systems is Mitsubishi Electric. A Mitsubishi Electric GE Series 2.5kW split system, installed in a small room providing regular heating and cooling through the winter and summer periods, has an annual running cost of around $272.
It does not take much to reduce your running costs with a split system. The star rating of the model you purchase determines how much you can save annually, and looking beyond the initial cost to how you use your split system helps as well.
Best Tip! Set the thermostat between 24C and 26C for cooling. Every degree lower in summer will increase the running costs by around 10%.

Wall-mounted split air conditioning systems are the most commonly owned residential air conditioning system, as they are affordable and easy to maintain.
Inverter technology is your key to more comfort throughout the year: it maintains a constant temperature, saves costs through lower energy consumption, and produces relatively less noise. This is achieved by controlling the compressor rotation speed more precisely.
Wall-mounted split AC systems are the best affordable option for one room, an apartment, or a small house, as they are relatively cheap to buy (depending on how many indoor units you require) and there is no duct work required.
Each indoor unit controls the room it is installed in, so each room can be set to a different temperature.
Many split air conditioning systems have air filtering and humidity control functions that regulate the amount of dust and humidity in a room. This gives sensitive users (children, elderly, asthmatic, or allergic users) ease of mind and body.
A multi-head split system allows different indoor units to connect to one outdoor condenser, giving you the comfort of the most suitable air conditioner, in physical and output terms, for each specific room.
Experience the peace of mind that comes with a perfectly functioning gas ducted heater or air conditioner.
