Air Conditioning: Split System

A split system describes an air conditioning or heat pump system that is split into two sections - an outdoor section and an indoor section. The outdoor unit is comprised of a compressor and condenser and is located outside usually on the ground but sometimes on the roof. The indoor section, usually located in an interior closet or garage, consists of a fan, indoor cooling coil, furnace, and filter. The furnace is typically an 80% efficiency appliance and in some cases is as high as 95%. Energy performance is similar to packaged rooftop systems with a bit more installation flexibility; it’s a combination for reliable operation and easy service.
