Split system air conditioning

A convenient and affordable way to heat and cool one or several rooms in your home.

Split system air conditioning

Convenient comfort for one room or more.

Split system air conditioning provides a convenient and affordable way to heat and cool one or several rooms in your home without the need for separate cooling and heating systems. Each room will normally have a dedicated split system installed although in some cases a larger unit may be suitable for a combined living space, for example, a lounge and dining area. As each unit operates independently you have targeted control on cooling and heating specific rooms within your home. Several split air conditioning units may also provide a total solution for small homes, granny flats or units.


Each system consists of an indoor and outdoor unit, and while ideally the outdoor unit should be positioned as close as possible to the indoor unit, split systems offer incredible flexibility. 

Mouritz offers split systems from the leading brands that deliver the highest levels of efficiency. Importantly, you can rest easy knowing that with Mouritz you’ll be drawing on experience going back to 1977 to deliver a solution that meets your needs perfectly.

Is split system air conditioning right for me?

Relax, Mouritz has you covered

A split air conditioning system offers both heating and cooling and is an ideal solution if only one or a few rooms require air conditioning. The system consists of an outdoor unit and an indoor wall mounted unit making it an extremely flexible option without the need to install duct work in the ceiling. Spilt systems are a great way to maximise comfort while keeping purchase, installation and running costs to a minimum. However, if you require a cooling only solution, or want to air condition your whole home then a ducted reverse cycle or ducted evaporative system from Mouritz could be the perfect alternative.

Ducted evaporative

A ducted evaporative system from Mouritz offers a convenient cooling only solution for your home. As with a ducted reverse cycle systems zones can be established to cool all or part of your home as needed. One of the main advantages of an evaporative system are low running costs.

Ducted reverse cycle

Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning is an excellent option for most Perth homes, offering an efficient and flexible way to heat and cool part or your entire home. Every system is unique and designed to suit each installation with consideration to how it will be used and your individual needs. If you are looking for year-round comfort and a long-term solution, it’s very likely that this will be a great choice.

Pros and cons

A quick summary of all the important stuff before you invest in a split system.

Pros

  • A split air conditioner will provide both heating and cooling delivering year-round comfort.
  • Purchase, installation and running cots are less than a ducted system.
  • When multiple units are installed, they provide significant flexibility by allowing you to activate only the specific room currently in use.
  • Different temperatures and modes can be selected for each room when more than one unit is installed.
  • The ability to use the system in the selected rooms individually means that power usage can also be controlled.
  • Humidity levels do not affect the function of split air conditioning systems.

Worth knowing

  • Unlike an evaporative cooling system, doors and windows should remain closed while the air conditioning system is operating.
  • Each system needs to be of an adequate size to service the desired area.
  • Regular cleaning of the filters in the indoor is required to maintain efficient operation.
  • Periodic servicing of the outdoor unit is also required to ensure the unit continues to operate at peak performance.

Common questions

Common questions about split systems

Split system air conditioning operates in the same way a ducted reverse cycle system works. The system utilises refrigerants that flow through coils within the indoor and outdoor units. To cool, the refrigerant absorbs heat from inside your home and redistributes it outdoors. For heating, this cycle is simply reversed.

The cost of your split system air conditioning will be dependent on the size of the unit selected, and the installation requirements. The size of each split system is determined by the size of the area it needs to service. Variables in the installation cost may include access and any complexities relating to the installation process. The experienced team at Mouritz will provide recommendations on the right size system that best matches your requirements and budget.

The size of each split system air conditioner is primarily determined by your room size and location. Assessing room volume is essential to selecting a system that meets your specific energy needs. Without proper consideration, you may install a system that is too large, costing more to run than it saves, or one that is too small to efficiently heat and cool your home. Selecting the correctly sized system ensures maximum comfort at an optimised running cost. The experienced team at Mouritz will accurately measure your room’s length, width, and ceiling height and in turn provide recommendations on the right size system that best matches your requirements and budget.

To ensure your split system air conditioner remains functional and efficient, it is important to have it serviced regularly. During a standard service, a Mouritz Technician will examine your system’s components to identify any parts that need repair or replacement before they become serious issues. Additionally, servicing addresses dust build-up, which can lower air quality and decrease efficiency. Proper cleaning allows the system to function optimally. Typically, it is best to have your split system air conditioner serviced at least once a year. Ideally this should be scheduled before summer and outside the periods of highest demand. When you’re ready, book a service online.

The cost of installing a split system air conditioner is influenced by several factors, including system size, materials, your home’s electrical infrastructure, and ease of access. Installation for smaller units typically start at around $750, while larger systems can sometimes exceed $2,000. System size directly impacts the amount of piping, wiring, and cabling required, which contributes to the total cost. Additionally, if your home’s electrical system requires repair or an upgrade this will also need to be considered. At Mouritz, we provide a hassle-free installation experience. With expertise going back to 1977, our highly experienced team will assess your home and ensure your new air conditioning system is installed and running efficiently as quickly as possible.

Split systems and ducted reverse cycle air conditioning both offer excellent climate control, operate in much the same way but serve different needs. Ducted air conditioning is ideal for heating and cooling an entire home. Because the system is integrated into the building's structure with ducts distributed throughout different rooms, it is discreet and operates quietly. However, ducted systems are generally more expensive due to their complex installation and a higher purchase cost of the main air conditioning unit. They also typically consume more energy than split systems. On the other hand, a split system air conditioner provides great flexibility and is ideal if you only require climate control for a few specific rooms or even just one. A split system will be more cost-effective to run while still providing a very energy-efficient solution.
