Positioning Your Split System Air Conditioner

Posted in:
Northern Beaches Split System Installation with Outdoor Positioned Under House

Indoor Unit Position

When it comes to installing split systems in residential homes, apartments, townhouses, and commercial spaces, we must consider various factors when deciding on the best position for the indoor unit. This includes visual appeal, airflow for the space, cost effectiveness in materials and installation time, the potential to target multiple spaces, and most importantly, the customer’s preference.

Here are some examples of where you can place the unit:

Outdoor Unit Position

When it comes to installing an outdoor split system unit in apartment complexes, it is usually necessary to place it in a corner of the balcony to limit its impact on the usable space. However, in residential settings, more options are available to us. Therefore, we must consider various factors while choosing the best position for the unit, such as its proximity to the indoor unit for efficiency, its visibility, and potential interference with foot traffic.

Additionally, we strive to place the unit in a spot that will have minimal impact on access or space, like avoiding blocking side entries or nearby garbage bins, bicycles, and lawn mowers.

I highly recommend Greg and the Team from Ready Electrical. Incredibly prompt in getting quotes and responses to any questions. The AC (Split and Ducted) was quoted and installed within a week.

I'll readily use their services again for any Electrical or AC work…
