Ducted Vs Split System Airconditioning – The Best Fit For Your Home

In Australia, air conditioning is a must, especially if you live in the tropics of Queensland as the Summer months are not only hot but humid making it hard to find relief from the heat. Therefore, many homeowners have made the switch to air conditioning as the temperatures continue to rise each year, but which system is best for your home?

Ducted Air Conditioning

Ducted air conditioning is a largescale air conditioning system that cools multiple rooms from a central point. This works by installing ducts throughout the roof or floor of your home and allowing the cooled air out through vents, which create minimal impact on your living space.

Ducted air conditioning is convenient and cost effective if you have a larger home that needs multiple rooms cooled at the same time. You can also use a zoning feature to cool certain rooms as well to reduce your energy usage. This makes ducted air conditioning very versatile for the whole family or for those working from home.

Split System Air Conditioning

Split system air conditioning uses two units to cool your home, the internal and external units. The external unit functions so that hot air can be drawn from outside, cooled down and released into the home through the internal unit. The internal unit is placed in a strategic position within the home so that it either cools down a certain room or living space.

Split system air conditioning is most commonly used in smaller homes or homes where only certain rooms need cooling. This is great for homeowners with smaller dwellings as they can save money on purchasing a smaller system that suits their needs.

Split system airconditioning also comes in a variety of options making it a functional addition to any home. These options include bulkhead, ceiling cassette, console unit and multi head systems. Each is designed to suit specific needs so that you receive the best result from your air conditioning.

The Best Fit For Your Home

If you are looking at purchasing air conditioning for your home then there is a lot to consider. This includes how large your home is, the rooms you want to cool, how large a system you need and the type of system that would suit you best. So where do you go from here?

Well, if your choice is between ducted and split system air conditioning then choosing the best fit for your home is easy!

Ducted air conditioning will suit you if you own a larger home and have a larger budget from your system. Ducted air conditioning is also hidden out of the way and is quieter for those who are thinking of aesthetics and noise.

Split system air conditioning is perfect for those who own a smaller home and are not worried about the internal unit being mounted on their wall. They are a cheaper option than ducted air conditioning if you are worried about price but are still powerful enough to cool your home efficiently.

Air Conditioning Installation

If you have purchased an air conditioning unit yourself you will need a professional air conditioning installer to add your new system to your home. At Southside Airconditioning and Electrical we provide air conditioning systems and installation packages so you don’t have to source your unit elsewhere. We even design ducted air conditioning systems so you have the most efficient system for your home. You can also add a smart air conditioning control panel to your system for better temperature control!

Make Sure Your Air Conditioning Unit Isn’t Costing You More Than It Should Be!

As Winter approaches and the cold air from outside replaces the air conditioner inside, it’s a good idea to check that your air conditioning unit is fully serviced and ready for the upcoming cold months.

Getting your unit serviced in time for winter will save you more than just a chilly night under the covers if your heating system isn’t warming you up. Making sure your unit gets a check-up before winter can save you more money, time and energy over the colder months.

As we all know in Brisbane, the difference between summer and winter can be night and day in terms of temperature. After months of sweating and sizzling in the sun, we forget just how cold winter can get, and how much of a pain it is to try to organise the installation or servicing of a reverse cycle unit when you’re just too cold to get out of bed. The benefits of up keeping your air conditioning system–whether it be ducted or split system–are tremendous. Maintenance is better than fixing it!

Investing in a professional service ensures better air quality with new and clean filters which allow the unit to run more efficiently (money wise too). It also ensures less risk of a fire hazard; quicker heating and cooling throughout the entire home; as well as less noise. When one of our trustworthy and experience technicians service your air conditioning system, they make sure that everything is working as it should be and that your system is still providing the most energy efficient service that it can to suit your needs.

If you don’t have heating in your home and dread the bitter cold that still seems to seep in, (even with a space heater on high and fuzzy clothes heaped on), investing in a quality unit makes sure you keep the chill at bay. And bonus! In summer, you can sit on your leather couch without sweating, using the same unit to cool you down.

We offer two air conditioning unit systems to cover a wide range of our customers’ needs and wants.

Ducted Air Conditioning

Ducted air conditioning works primarily through a series of ducts installed in the roof space of your home to keep you at your preferred temperature. These ducts can filter clean and cool air to any room of the house, easily. You can also heat or cool each room individually using a zoning feature which segregates off parts of the house into zones you can individually control. With an easy-to-use thermostat on the wall that connects to the entire home, you can select the temperature, zones and other settings with one point of contact.

Unless you’re serious about keeping cool and cosy in a large home, ducting can be a more costly and significant project. However, as the most permanent solution, it pays off in the long run, especially with professional services scheduled regularly.

Split System Air Conditioning 

Split system air conditioning units are more suitable for small homes or rental properties. These conditioners are split into two main parts that condense and evaporate heat within the same unit system.

These units are popular for their relatively low initial purchase price and quick installation. They are best suited to cooling or warming one room however, not a large space. Rarely can they heat or cool a whole house, but at least the rooms outfitted will be chill or toasty depending on how you want to feel, quickly and efficiently.

Contact us for a consultation and quote on which air conditioning system is right for you. Or call us to schedule a reliable and professional servicing of your current units to maintain their peak performance!

The Importance Of Staying Warm In Winter With Air Conditioning

In winter it can become quite cold and sometimes blankets, jackets and multiple layers of clothes are not enough to keep the chill out of your bones. This can lead to illness and discomfort in your body, which isn’t a good thing to be dealing with over months at a time.

Health reasons 

Being too cold, especially in winter, has multiple affects on your health. This includes increasing your risk to illness, causing lack of sleep, affecting your immune system and so on. This means you may be forced to take days off work to rest when you can’t afford to.

Heating your home with reverse cycle air conditioning in Brisbane can help prevent the affects that winter has on your health. It allows you to set the perfect temperature in your home and you can also use it for summer to cool your home once the weather starts warming up. 

How warmth affects the body 

Keeping your body warm, especially during the cooler months, has many benefits no matter how old you are. A warm home provides less chance of your immune system being affected and your body being vulnerable to viruses.

Keeping warm in winter helps relieve the stress on the body that may be caused by cramped, cold or sore muscles and reduces the affects that come with these conditions such as exhaustion. Warmer environments also increase your focus and reduce your need to eat, so it’s great for dieting! 

The benefits of installing reverse cycle air conditioning in Brisbane 

Reverse cycle air conditioning Brisbane has many benefits in and outside of winter. It helps to keep your entire home warm with further reach than a space heater. Reverse cycle air conditioning also allows you to set the optimum temperature to keep your family comfortable and healthy.

Reverse cycle air conditioning Brisbane can also be used year round with the option to keep the temperature warm in winter and cool in summer. This saves you money on buying separate heating and cooling devices to keep your home comfortable.

Using A Reverse Cycle Air Conditioner During Winter

When you think of winter, air conditioning doesn’t really come to mind but there are types of air conditioners that are perfect in winter including reverse cycle units. These cool and heat the home so you and your family can live with an optimum temperature year round.

More powerful and efficient

Reverse cycle air conditioners are better at heating the home as they are more powerful and efficient than stand alone heaters. This allows you to heat multiple rooms at once while you might have to buy multiple space heaters to do the equivalent.

This gives reverse cycle air conditioning a huge advantage in heating the home as you can keep the whole family comfortable and you don’t have to walk away from the warmth into another freezing room. It keeps everything toasty for you so you don’t have to feel uncomfortable while indoors.

Less of a fire hazard

Another benefit to reverse cycle air conditioning is that it is less of a fire hazard. Space heaters on the other hand use heated globes and other parts to provide your home with warmth. If left unattended this can lead to a fire in your home, which can cost you a fortune.

Reverse cycle air conditioning on the other hand takes air from outside the home and warms it using refrigerant. The air then flows into the home at the set temperature to keep your family warm.

Optimum temperature

The great thing about reverse cycle air conditioning is you can set the perfect temperature. You don’t have to have it too hot, making your home feel stuffy, or too cold, causing everyone to freeze. This means you and your family can live in comfort and continue your day as per normal.

Space heaters usually only have 1 to 3 settings for temperature, which can leave your room not feeling that warm, or overbearingly hot. This is not the most comfortable or efficient solution to your homes heating and the space heater can struggle if it is placed in a large room.
