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.

Marcel and his team carried out the installation. They were on time, polite, explained what would be done and the time frame, and completed the work within that time. Removed all the rubbish, would recommend them for any AIRCON installation.

Ready Electrical and A/C installed my a/c some years back and have serviced it since. Greg and his team are first rate and Kane who has done the past couple of service calls has been most professional and thorough in servicing the a/c system. I fully recommend them for a/c sales, installation and servicing requirements.

Michael and Marcel have done an excellent job yesterday installing two air con units in our place. They arrived on time, took the time to answer our questions, made clear how things will be set up and have been super friendly the whole day. They cleaned the place before they left. Thank you both. Highly recommend!
