A multi-head air conditioning system is a convenient way to keep your home cool during a hot summer. And, if the design of your home doesn't suit a ducted system, a multi-head system can still allow you to cool your entire home comfortably. In fact, unlike a ducted system, which works better when you keep your internal doors open, a multi-system lets you cool each room separately.
Here are some of the reasons why you might choose a multi-head air conditioning system.
1. You want to preserve your home's exterior appearance
The problem with split systems is that each conditioner requires one unit to operate. This is a problem if you wish to have more than one air conditioner. Your home's exterior will suffer aesthetically because of the presence of multiple units. To avoid this issue, choose a multi-head system. This system allows you to run multiple conditioners from just one external unit.
2. You want separate temperature control for each room
With a ducted system, which does offer individual control for areas of the house, several issues can occur. For instance, if your home has low ceilings and less wall space, a ducted system might be inefficient. And, a ducted system works best when the air can travel from room to room via open internal doors.
A multi-head system has small units that you can place in small rooms without an issue. But the best feature of a multi-head system is that you can control the temperatures of multiples rooms separately. For instance, you can run the bedroom air conditioner at 25 degrees and the one in your living room at 20 degrees.
3. You don't have enough space for a ducted system
A ducted air conditioning system requires sufficient space in the ceilings and floor spaces. This rules out a ducted system if your home is on the small side, or you live in an apartment. Multi-head systems don't take up very much interior space.
4. You don't want to take up limited exterior space
5. Your indoor units can be different sizes
Again, if space is limited, this system is ideal for your home. This is because you can choose the size of your air conditioners based on the room they will cool. If, for instance, your bedroom is small but your living room is large, you can choose a smaller conditioner for your bedroom and a larger one for your living room.
6. You want to lower your energy bills
Many ducted systems use a lot of electricity to run, which increases your energy bills. But, with clever planning, you can save on your energy bills with a multi-head system. The KW (kilowatts) of each air conditioner (head) can differ depending on the cooling needs of the room it cools. As a result, you can choose a higher KW for large rooms, and a lower KW for small, less-used rooms.
Ultimately, this will help you save money on your energy bills.
