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 recently had the pleasure of working with Troy, a fantastic young electrician who went above and beyond to help me during an emergency. He responded incredibly quickly, was professional, courteous and extremely efficient. Not only did he do an excellent job himself, but he also took the initiative to organise additional help where needed. He handled everything very smoothly. It’s rare these day…

Consistently the best communication I’ve ever experienced from anyone in the trade industry, from enquiry right through to the kind and professional team on the job. Shout out to Troy for being incredibly patient and helpful in getting our lights set up, and also to Renzo and Danny for the great advice and installation of our AC. Can’t recommend RE enough.

Fair price, great communication, excellent job. What more could you ask for? Installed a split system A/C that I purchased separately. Even took away all the boxes. Thanks guys! Highly recommend.
