There are five types of split air conditioners. The different types of split air conditioners are determined according to their mobility and their location.

Types of Split Fixed Air Conditioner

• The Wall Air Conditioner is the most common air conditioner.

Installed on one of your walls, the wall mounted air conditioner (or wall mounted air conditioner) fits perfectly into the decor of your room. Usually not very bulky and thus compact, the wall-mounted air conditioner is the most used type of air conditioning on the market. It is found in the form of mono or multisplit.

It works with at least 2 separate units: one or more inside and the other outside. This is the very principle of mono-split air conditioning. Do not confuse the wall split air conditioning with the wall air conditioner without an external unit. In the latter case, it is a monobloc air conditioner. In a reversible version, the wall-mounted air conditioner has been one of the best sellers of recent years (capable of cooling and heating a room).

• Duct air conditioner

The duct air conditioner is hidden in the false ceiling of your home or office and acts through ventilation grilles. The hot air to be extracted circulates through the ducts. Very discreet and aesthetic, this air conditioning system is very popular.

The duct air conditioner has high power and has the advantage of not wasting space. The only drawback is that this ducted air conditioner can only be installed under false ceilings or roof spaces. Its installation can therefore involve major installation work.

Like any split air conditioner, it is usually equipped with reversible technologies.

The latter is often installed in large spaces (shops, department stores, open space, large offices) because it is very powerful due to its four air outlets. the cassette air conditioner can ventilate and cool very large rooms, even with a high ceiling, and is therefore an ideal solution in loft-style accommodation.

There are also less powerful models intended for individuals. The cassette air conditioner (or ceiling air conditioner) is built into the ceiling directly. Very discreet, it works exactly like any other split air conditioner. It offers a homogeneous distribution of air.

• Floor-mounted AC / Console

Ideal for replacing an old radiator, the console air conditioner can be fixed to the wall, built in or even placed on the floor. It works like a classic split air conditioner. It can be single flow (only one air outlet on the top) or double flow (one outlet on the top and one at ground level). The console air conditioner is also compact and more discreet.

Split Mobile Air Conditioner

The split mobile air conditioner consists of an indoor and outdoor unit. The different units are linked together by several sheaths of small diameters. The indoor unit of the mobile split air conditioner is mounted on casters so that it can be moved between rooms.

The major advantage of split mobile air conditioning is the absence of any specific installation. You should, however, be able to have an opening or window in the room to be air conditioned. This type of air conditioning allows cooling or heating (in the case of reversible air conditioning) rooms up to 322.91 sq ft on average.

The portable air conditioner is not very attractive and often noisy. It can only be a temporary solution.

Choose this type of device if you are looking for a backup air conditioner for a small room. In most cases, the split mobile air conditioner is non-reversible.
