The main types of air conditioner
- Single split system
- Multi-split system
- Ducted air conditioning
- Cassette air conditioners
- Window-mounted air conditioners
Split system
A single split system has one indoor unit connected to one outdoor unit and is ideal for cooling a single room (“spot cooling”). It’s energy efficient and versatile to install, which is why it’s so popular in homes and small commercial spaces.
Multi-split system
A multi-split system connects several indoor units to one outdoor unit, each controlled individually. It costs more up front but is more efficient than several single splits, and is a great option when there isn’t room for ducting or the outdoor space is tight.
Ducted air conditioning
For whole-building comfort, ducted air conditioning (also called central air) is one of the best options, delivering quiet, unobtrusive temperature control through ceiling ducts. It can cost more up front but is often cost-effective to run over time and is practically invisible indoors.
Cassette and window units
Cassette systems sit flush with the ceiling and suit rooms where a ducted or split system won’t fit. Window-mounted units are a single appliance that fits in a window — cheaper to install and portable, but noisier and less efficient. Other options include floor consoles, split-ducted and air curtains.
