What is a split air conditioning system?

Split air conditioner systems consist of two parts: the indoor unit includes the cool air handling assemblies and supplies temperature controlled air into the room, whilst the outdoor unit includes the hot coils and condenser assemblies. This type of ‘split’ arrangement reduces the size of the indoor unit, lowers the audible noise within the room and can reduce pipe installation costs where the outdoor unit is installed close or on the outside wall to the indoor cooling unit.
