Top 6 Benefits of a Split Air Conditioner System
To get cold air from the condenser to the desired room, traditional HVAC units require the use of long and expensive ducts. Each of these ducts is expensive, and their installation increased the total cost of the installation dramatically. A split air conditioner, on the other hand, requires only a small copper tube and some wiring to operate. The in-room units are small, and they are designed in such a way that they blend in with the rest of the room’s decor.
2. Hidden Compressors

Where a traditional A/C unit needs to be near the home to function, a split air conditioner makes use of linking passages that give you more freedom in where you want to put the outdoor compressor. You can hide your compressor on a flat roof, in a corner of the garage or in a storage shed, as long as it is closer than 100 ft. to the home.
3. No Need For Windows
The alternative most people use to a central A/C system is a window unit, but they either require you to cut a hole in the wall or give up one of your existing windows for the unit. The interior portions of your split air conditioner can go anywhere in the room.
4. Long-Term Savings

5. Simple Maintenance
6. Nearly Silent Operation
You should be prepared to spend about 30-40% more for a split air conditioner over a central A/C unit, but don’t let the high initial price tag stop you from making a sound long-term investment. The savings that you will see in your utility bills and from decreased maintenance costs will more than make up the difference in installation price.
