People who are planning to install an air conditioning system have many questions. This is natural because we often want to get the best value out of our money. Furthermore, we want to ensure that our homes, schools, or offices where we’ll install the AC will be comfortable no matter what weather it is.

One major concern is about split systems. That’s why we compiled a short list of questions and answers. You can use this as reference right before deciding if the split systems are right for your home, office, or school.

How do split systems work?

A split system has an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The outdoor unit initiates the cooling process while the indoor unit has the evaporator and fan.

Are they cost-effective?

First, split systems don’t require extensive installation costs. Upfront, you will save money.

Second, the flow of air is much more efficient and straightforward. There’s a lower chance of losing energy in the process. This means you save on electrical costs while ensuring steady temperatures inside the room. This is the long-term benefit.

Where is it ideal to install split type air conditioners?

There are many advantages in choosing split system air conditioners. That’s why many people now prefer split systems in their homes, commercial buildings, schools, and learning centres.

Is there a catch?

It seems the split systems are the answer to all your problems. Sounds too good to be true, isn’t it?

Of course, there are a few disadvantages. First is that you’ll need to hire a professional to perform this (actually, this can be an advantage because you know your split system is installed properly).

Second, split systems may not be ideal for multi-storey apartments. You have to consider a few things before installing one.

That’s why it’s ideal to ask the professionals for some help. They already have the experience and they’ll know what to do once you tell them your concerns.

It seems it’s always Japan that introduces the first innovations before the rest of the world catches on. This is the case with split system air conditioners. The split system was first used in Japan, but has since become ubiquitous around the world. It’s a popular design where the condenser and the cooling unit are separate, therefore the name, “split” system. Here’s why this popular air conditioning unit has caught on and spread so far.

Easy to Install

The entire set up to install a split system is relatively easy. Because the condenser and cooling system can be separated by up to 30 meters, making it easy to modify it for any room in the home. The condenser can even be installed on the roof if required. The cooling unit sits out of the way on the wall with only a small aperture needed for the wires and tubing.

Possible Climate Control

The newest models of split systems offer dual climate control for the summer and winter. This an extremely convenient option to combine the heating and cooling needs of a home in one unit. When properly maintained and cleaned, it can pump out enough heat to keep it comfortable in the winter and enough cold to keep it cool in the summer.

Easy Controls

The split system air conditioning is incredibly easy to operate. Many new systems also have sensors that keep the control in the system itself. It detects the outside temperature and activates or de-activates when needed. Timers can also help the home be cooled or heated in time for when the owners return home from being out all day.

Economical and Affordable

The main reason that it has spread over the world is due to the precise nature of the cooling and heating. It can be contained to a specific room and not needlessly cool other rooms. The singular split system can keep the costs down by only affecting the rooms where people need them to be.  Energy efficient systems also help reduce the wastage a larger unit would produce to cool a home.

Trying to beat the heat in the home is a constant battle. It’s not always beating the hot weather, but also trying to find better ways to heat and cool a home that can be restrictive. Costs can be high for constant energy usage, but some people have turned to envelope homes as their solution.

What Is an Envelope House?

First introduced in America in the 1970s, it’s a home within a home. It’s a house that has an extra layer of between the outside and inside, an envelope that keeps the thermal efficiency high and the heating and cooling of the house regulated. The homes that are built in this envelope fashion use the concepts in physics to create barriers and effective air flow throughout the home. Here are some of the best features of these homes.

Thermal Conductors

In just about every modern home, there are thermal conductors in the house. These are simple or innocuous parts of the home that help bring transfer heat from outside the home to the inside. Common thermal conductors are poorly insulated roofs and walls, allowing heat to pass through quite easily.

Envelope homes use no thermal conductors or “bridges” so that heat cannot easily pass though from outside to in. This includes everything from triple-glazed windows to not even using metal door knobs. A simple door knob can transfer the heat from the outdoors to the inside by way of conduction.

Passive Air Flow

The main feature of an envelope home is the passive air flow in the shell. This air flow keeps the lighter, less buoyant cooler air lower to the ground while hotter air rises and escapes in purposefully built vents. This passive air flow also helps heat to not transfer in and out of the room.

Glazed Windows

Glazed windows are double or triple-paned windows that have air in between the glass. It helps the heat to dissipate before transferring to the home. It allows the minute gaps in the window to remain sealed to the outside. It’s just one of the clever ways that envelope homes regulate temperature without the need for costly power usage.

The lead up to summer inevitably brings the season’s sneezing and sniffles. Yes, it’s the spring season that most of the allergy-afflicted hate the most. Being outdoors for any part of the day can trigger nasty nose niggles and itching eyes. The only reprieve is to stay indoors. But what if that doesn’t work?

If the home doesn’t have an adequate filtering system in the air conditioning, then that pollen and plant material can be brought inside to work the same damage as outside. In essence, there is no safety or security from the symptoms of allergy season. That is, unless, the air conditioner is properly maintained to keep the air pure.

Cleaning the Air Conditioner

The home is meant to be a safe place, free from dust mites and pollen that can so easily trigger an outbreak. The air conditioner’s filtration system is designed to keep those allergens on the outside while still drawing in air to cool the home.

Cleaning the AC unit before this season starts is crucial to avoid this allergy sufferance inside. An air conditioner’s filter can be rinsed off from the build-up that it accumulates over time. It’s designed to provide an effective barrier against all sorts of pollutants in the air. It can only do this job if it’s kept clean by a professional maintenance service.

Regular Air Conditioner Maintenance

For a complete clean, more than just the filter needs to be cleaned. To achieve the best indoor air quality in Sydney, a full professional clean is required. The service includes basic air conditioning maintenance and cleaning of all the major components. The air filter is checked, cleaned or replaced if needed. The ducts also need cleaning from the dust that builds up. The motor and inlet pipes are checked for debris and all the condenser and split system parts are checked as well.

Along with keeping the home free from those spring-time sniffles, it also puts money back into the pocket of the home owner. A cleaner air conditioner runs smoothly and more efficiently, not using u extra cost to push through clogged pipes and tubing.

Many of us spend most of our waking hours in the workplace. Each day we have to deal with various tasks and clients. The job gets really easy only if we always feel comfortable while working.

One way that helps employees feel more comfortable is proper air conditioning. When we always feel comfortable, we’re likely to focus and give our best on the task at hand. This somehow supports Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, which says that our physiological needs should be met first before we can move on to the higher levels.

Employees become more productive and focused

That means our safety and comfort should be satisfied first before we can fully focus on intellectual tasks. It’s not easy to think clearly when it’s hot, especially when we’re spending the whole day working. If it’s hot and uncomfortable, that results to lower productivity (Did you know that people living in cooler climates generate over 10 times the economic production compared to people living in the hottest climates?).

Aside from productivity, the employees’ health is also being affected by hot conditions in the workplace. There’s a greater risk for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Furthermore, a hot and uncomfortable workplace contributes to stress and frustration of employees. That leads to a weakened immune system (hence it results to ailments).

Prevent the stress and sick days

But with proper air conditioning, the employees’ productivity can be increased. We also prevent the sick days that affect our performance and productivity. Proper air conditioning also leads to more satisfied employees. They will become more motivated to bring more results to the company.

So how can you have a proper air conditioning system in your workplace? First, you must consider reliability. Just one day without proper air conditioning can lead to tremendous frustration and loss of productivity.

To keep it working reliably all year round, prompt servicing and filter replacements are also required. This is to avoid hassles and prevent future problems. This ensures that the air is cool even during the hot summer days. Employees will be happy to work each day and produce more results for the company.

Energy efficiency is a growing topic not just because of environmental concerns, but also because of costs on the side of the homeowners. Electricity bills don’t have any chance of going down anytime soon. In addition, our modern lifestyles and climate change require us to run our air conditioners as frequently as possible.

So how do we keep our electricity bills low (or within a reasonable amount) and keep our home air conditioners energy-efficient? Here are 3 tips you can apply right away:
