Is your house suitable for a split air conditioner?
With a split air conditioner, you can cool and heat your house in a useful way. But is this system suitable for your house? In this article, we'll tell you more about what you need for a split air conditioner.
Good insulation helps, but it's not required
A well-insulated house retains the heat or cold longer. That way, the split air conditioner doesn't have to work as hard. Is your insulation not that good? A split air conditioner still works. We adjust the power of the system to your situation. That way, you can also be comfortable if your house isn't insulated that well.
A smart spot for your outdoor unit
Every split air conditioner has an outdoor unit. It can lead away or extract heat from the air. Choose a useful spot for it, such as:
- a flat roof
- a balcony
- a dormer
- a part of your garden
Make sure there's enough space around the unit, so it can ventilate properly. Also don't place it too close to a bedroom window. That way, it stays silent indoors. Our advisors are happy to help.
Suitable for 1 or multiple rooms
You can use a split air conditioner for specific rooms. For example:
- A home office that heats up quickly.
- A bedroom where you want to sleep in silence and with heat
- An attic where it's difficult to control the temperature.
You can choose how many outdoor units you have placed and where. That way, you can adjust the system to your wishes.
Solar panels and a split air conditioner
A split air conditioner runs on electricity. Do you have solar panels? You can use your own generated energy to cool and heat. That's extra sustainable and saves you on your energy bill.
But a split air conditioner is also useful without solar panels. Especially if you want to consume less gas by heating electrically.
Is your house suitable?
In most cases, the answer is yes. An extra check:
- Do you have a well-insulated house? The split air conditioner works extra efficiently. But with less good insulation, your house is still suitable for a split air conditioner.
- You have space for the outdoor unit.
- Do you have solar panels? You can use your own energy. No solar panels? No problem.
- You want to cool or heat 1 or more rooms.
