Air conditioning units are a common feature in many households and offices. They can be used to cool and/or heat a room or an entire building, depending on the size of the unit. There are different types of air conditioning units available, each with its own set of pros and cons. But we’ll guide you through it!
How does an air conditioning system work?
An air conditioning system is a device that uses refrigerants to cool indoor air. It works by removing heat from the air and transferring it to another location (usually outside), where it can be dissipated into the atmosphere.
Does air conditioning dry the air?
You may have heard that air conditioning dries the air. This is true in some cases, as it removes moisture from the air. It’s important to understand that this is not what makes your home feel cool and comfortable. Air conditioning does not remove moisture from the air, it removes heat from the air by cooling down its temperature. The lower the temperature, the less humidity is in the air and this helps to make a cool, comfortable area.

Know the difference and make the right choice for your home or business
Split systems
Split systems, also known as ductless systems, are the most common type of air conditioning unit. They’re easy to install, great for small spaces, and more energy efficient than central air conditioning systems.
Centralised systems
Central air conditioning systems are more expensive than other systems, but more efficient, reliable, and easier to install. They can be installed in any room of your house, and they can even be used for both cooling and heating (though this is less common).
Packaged air conditioning units
Packaged systems are a combination of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. They’re typically used in commercial buildings and large residential buildings, as they require less installation work than split systems. However, they’re also more expensive than split air conditioning units.
Multi Split Systems
Multi-split systems are a bit like having two to four air conditioners in one. These units work like split units with one condenser and up to four insides.
Evaporator Coolers
Evaporator coolers are the most efficient type of air conditioner, and they make up the second most popular type of central air conditioning. Evaporators use water to cool down intake filters, and due to evaporation, bring the intake temperature down by 5 – 7 ⁰C.
