An HVAC split system is split between two main components: an outdoor unit (typically housing the compressor and condenser) and an indoor unit (which includes the evaporator coil and air handler). These components work together seamlessly to provide efficient cooling in summer and heating in winter (if equipped with a heat pump or furnace attachment).

Unlike window or portable units, a AC unit split is designed for long-term performance and quieter operation. It’s ducted, which means the conditioned air is distributed through ducts into each room, providing uniform comfort across your home.

The biggest advantage of AC split systems is flexibility. They can be installed in virtually any type of residence, from single-family homes to multi-story buildings. With various efficiency ratings and smart controls available, homeowners can tailor a system to match both their comfort preferences and energy-saving goals.

Moreover, maintenance is straightforward. The separation of components makes it easier to service parts independently, reducing downtime and repair costs.
