Split Air-Conditioner
Split Air-Conditioner
Split air conditioners consist of two main components: an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit is mounted inside the room, while the outdoor unit is installed externally, typically on a wall or the ground. Compared to window units, split ACs offer better aesthetics, quieter operation, and advanced functionality, making them the preferred choice for residential applications.
Modern split units come equipped with inverter technology and smart cooling features. Inverter ACs adjust compressor speed based on cooling demand, enhancing energy efficiency and performance. Available in capacities ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 tons and energy ratings of up to 5 stars in India, split air conditioners offer an efficient, stylish, and cost-effective cooling solution for homes and small offices.
Frequently Asked Question
Modern split units often include inverter technology (which modulates the compressor speed rather than turning it fully on/off), smart features like timers, remote / app-control, eco-modes, and good energy ratings (in India, up to 5 stars). Capacities typically range from 0.5 to 2.5 tons for many standard residential/small-office applications.
What size (capacity) split AC is right for my room?
Capacity depends on room area, ceiling height, sun exposure (windows), number of occupants, heat from electronics/appliances. Undersizing leads to poor cooling; oversizing wastes energy. We can help calculate the correct tonnage for your specific conditions.
What does “inverter” mean and why is it important?
An inverter compressor adjusts speed based on demand, rather than being fully on or off. This gives smoother cooling, less energy wasted, and often quieter operation. It reduces electricity bills in variable-load usage.
How noisy are split ACs indoors?
They are generally quiet, especially when using inverter and efficient indoor units. But noise levels also depend on fan design, filter cleanliness, installation quality, and where the indoor unit is placed.
How often should I clean or change filters / do maintenance?
Filters should be cleaned every 1-2 months (or sooner if environment is dusty/polluted). Coils, drainage lines, blower motors should be checked at least annually. More frequent checks help avoid performance issues and extend life.
