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.

Thanks Greg & Team. Trent & Adam did a great job with the electrics. Lineu, Renzo & their team spend one & a half days installing- climbing through the roof cavity, always checking in with me as the job progressed to ensure I was happy with the work. End result was exactly what I had arranged with Greg. All up happy to recommend this business.

The guys came over and found that my previous install was absolutely horrendous in examining it. They worked out a way to fit the new air-conditioner perfectly without any issues a brilliant job thank you so much Chris and Damien
