What's the difference between a single split and a multi split air conditioner?
Do you want to cool or heat your house with a split air conditioner? You can choose from 2 types: single-split and multi-split. Which one suits you best, depends on how many rooms you want to cool or heat. We'll explain it for you.
Single split: 1 room, 1 outdoor unit
A single-split air conditioner has 1 indoor unit and 1 outdoor unit. This is useful if you want to cool or heat 1 room. You can place the outdoor unit near the indoor unit. Thanks to this, the pipeline is short and you save costs.
Multi-split: multiple rooms, 1 outdoor unit
Do you want to cool or heat multiple rooms in your house? A multi-split air conditioner is a useful choice. You can connect multiple indoor units to 1 outdoor unit. You can heat your living room and a bedroom at the same time, for example. This saves space.
Every room their own indoor unit
A split air conditioner works as an air-air heat pump. It moves air to cool or heat. An air conditioner doesn't work through walls. That's why every room you want to cool or heat needs their own indoor unit.
Sometimes, 2 single-splits is smarter
Sometimes, it's better to choose 2 single-split air conditioners instead of 1 multi-split air conditioner. With a multi-split, pipes have to go to all indoor units. If the rooms where you want an indoor unit are far apart, the pipeline will get longer and more expensive. With 2 single-splits, you can place the outdoor units closer to the indoor units. This way, you save on installation costs. Our advisors are happy to help you make the best choice.
