Split Systems versus Ducted Systems – Which Air Conditioning System is Better for you?

This is one of the questions we often get asked by our customers here at H&H Air Conditioning when considering installing an air conditioning system in their homes. A definitive answer to this question can be difficult, as the needs of the individual and the way people use air conditioning varies greatly. As each system has their individual merits, today’s news article will examine the unique strengths of both ducted and split system and help guide those to make an informed decision when choosing their next air conditioning system.

Ducted Air Conditioning Systems

If you are looking at cooling an entire house, choosing a ducted system means a superior climate control solution for the entire home with even air flow and distribution throughout. While installing ducted air conditioning is more costly than a single split system unit, cooling the entire home through ducted air conditioning is still a cheaper option than hanging split system units in each room. Additionally ducted systems are more aesthetically pleasing as all the equipment in ceiling is hidden from view which also makes it much quieter. With only vents in the floor or ceiling, rather than a larger wall mounted unit ducted air con is also benefit for the space conscious homeowner.

Split Air Conditioning Systems

Split system air conditioning units are the most popular in Australian households primarily due to the affordability and flexibility that they offer. A spilt system gives you the option to cool only the rooms which you need with the potential to add additional air conditioning units as needed. This makes them an appealing cheaper option than the ducted system since they typically have a smaller initial outlay. The fact that each unit has a separate remote control allows temperatures to be set differently across each room is another benefit of the spilt system air conditioning system.
