			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignright" style="margin: 5px;" src="http://splitairconditioning.net/wp-content/themes/thesis-15/rotator/cleaning-air-conditioner-filter.gif" alt="cleaning air conditioner filter" width="199" height="205" />When using an air conditioner, it is very important to clean it from time to time. Cleaning an air conditioner gets rid of the accumulated dirt and dust and improves the performance of the unit.</p>
<p>From the aesthetic sense, cleaning also makes the air conditioning unit look spick and span. For cleaning an air conditioner, the essential tools that are required are a tin can, a vacuum cleaner, a long handled brush, an oil can, rags, detergent or other cleaning chemicals and screwdrivers and spanners.</p>
<p><span id="more-60"></span></p>
<p>For the window air conditioner unit, the first step is to <strong>remove the filter</strong>. After removing it, water should be sprinkled on it and using a rag, detergent should be applied on the filter. After the filter becomes soapy, it should be completely submerged in a tray of hot water and kept aside for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, it should be rinsed with hot and cold water and hung up to dry.</p>
<p>After this, the front grille has to be removed from the main body. Modern air conditioning units have latches and by simply removing the latches, the front grille can be taken out. After the front grill is removed, the metal cover has to be taken out by unscrewing the screws. The screws can be kept in the tin can. Then the oil plugs of the fan should be taken out to display the oil holes using a pin or screwdrivers. 3 to 4 drops of oil should be applied to the oil holes. Then dirt and dust should be removed from the front fin using the brush.</p>
<p>Once the dirt is gone, the surface should be sprayed with greasers or spray cleaners. After 15 minutes, hot water should be poured slowly to remove all the dirt. Care should be taken so that water doesn’t come in contact with the electrical cables and wires and the refrigerator coils. Any bent fins should now be straightened.</p>
<p>This is a delicate process and pressure should not be applied. For the condenser, the same process of cleaning and watering needs to be done. Since the condenser coils contain high pressure gases, the condenser fins should be handled with extreme care.</p>
<p>Then a rag should be used to wipe the fan blades. The final step is to vacuum the entire unit including the underside of the metal cover. Any excess water should be drained out and the air conditioner should be reassembled when it is completely dry.</p>
<p><strong>For split and ductless air conditioners</strong>, cleaning is very easy. The first step is to take off the front cover. It should be cleaned and dried. Then the filters need to be taken out and cleaned in the same manner as described earlier. After this is done, a large plastic bag is needed for progressing further.</p>
<p>The plastic should be fixed to the back side of the unit so that it is attached with the unit. With one hand holding the front side of the bag, so that it catches any dirt and dust coming out of the unit, greasers or spray cleaners should be applied to the coils and the rotor. This has to be done very carefully so that the entire surface of the coils and the rotor are covered with the cleaning agent.</p>
<p>The mouth of the spray should be as close to the coils and the rotor as possible. After this is done and the unit is left for about 10 minutes, the sprayer should be filled with hot water and another round of spraying should be done to wash out dirt and dust.</p>
<p>All this while, the bag should be held carefully so that all the disposable from the unit, like the chemicals and the water fall into it. Water should be sprayed as long as dirty water flows out. Then the unit has to be vacuumed and allowed to dry before reinstalling and using. The condenser should also be cleaned from time to time. It must be dismantled, cleaned with chemicals and vacuumed. Care should be taken for the condenser coils because they contain high pressure gases. After this process, the unit will start cooling better.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignright" style="margin: 5px;" src="http://splitairconditioning.net/wp-content/themes/thesis-15/rotator/split-air-condenser-unit.jpg" alt="air condenser unit" width="199" height="220" /> Although split air conditioners are easier to install than window air conditioners, one should consult an expert before doing anything. It looks all so easy to install and disassemble a split air conditioner but the best option is to let an expert do it or even if someone wants to do it themselves, then do it in front of an expert.</p>
<p>To install the split air conditioner, the first job is to <strong>install the condenser unit</strong>. The condenser unit stays in the open, out of the house. Since outside air circulates through the condenser unit, there should be ample space around the unit. There should be at least 12 inches of space between the condenser unit and the wall of the house. 12 inches should also be kept free on both sides of the condenser.</p>
<p>After the proper space is selected, the pad should be laid on the ground, a check should be done to see that the pad is on even ground and then the condenser unit should be put on top of the pad.</p>
<p><span id="more-58"></span></p>
<p>The next step is to<strong> drill a hole in the wall</strong> through which the refrigerator coil will go inside the house. The room in which the air conditioning unit will be placed needs to be located and the wall opened up in that room. The refrigerator coil now needs to be connected to the condenser and run through the wall into the room. After this is done, the PVC line needs to be assembled and run into the room. The PVC line helps in condensation.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin: 5px;" src="http://splitairconditioning.net/wp-content/themes/thesis-15/rotator/refrigerator-coil.jpg" alt="refrigerator coil" width="198" height="208" /> The final coil work is to connect the electrical cable and a low voltage wire to the condenser. The other end of the electrical cable and a low voltage wire is then run into the room. The wiring is complete at this point.</p>
<p>Now, the metal mounting bracket is screwed into the wall. While screwing the bracket, the users’ manual should be referred to and the bracket should be put up at the height that is recommended by the manufacturer.</p>
<p>Now the air conditioner unit needs to be fixed to the bracket. The last step is to make the final electrical and other wire connections. After this is done, the installation is complete and the split air conditioner is ready to work.</p>
<p>Opening or disassembling a split air conditioning unit by the user is not recommended at all. It is a simple process but an expert should be allowed to do the job or even if the user does it on his or her own, it should be done in the presence of an expert.</p>
<p>In any case, opening or disassembling a split air conditioner is a simple process. Before anything else, one should check that the electric supply is off and then take off the electric supply wires. At this point, it is advisable that one earths himself or herself.</p>
<p>The first work should be done on the indoor unit. The cover is first taken off. The modern split air conditioners have latches that attach the cover to the bracket. So, it’s a simple task of unlatching and taking off the cover. After the cover is off, all the open end of the wires should capped.</p>
<p>Extreme care should be taken not to break the refrigerator coils because gas runs through them and leaking may cause an explosion. After this is done, one needs to go outside and gently pull out all the refrigerator coils and the PVC line.</p>
<p>Once this is done, they need to be disconnected from the condenser unit. The condenser unit is then unscrewed and taken off the supporting pad. One should go inside now and take off the metal bracket using screwdrivers. This completes the opening and disassembling process.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignright" style="margin: 5px;" src="http://splitairconditioning.net/wp-content/themes/thesis-15/rotator/window-air-conditioner.jpg" alt="" width="201" height="212" />Air conditioners are of two types. There are the window air conditioners and the split air conditioners. Functionally speaking, there is no major difference between a window air conditioner and a split air conditioner. Both are used to cool rooms. However, there are some differences technically.</p>
<p>A <strong>window air conditioner</strong> is a single unit. All the parts of the air conditioner reside within that one unit, including the compressor. In a<strong> split air conditioner</strong>, as the name suggests, the parts of the air conditioner are split.</p>
<p>The condenser is usually fitted outside the house or the room in which the indoor unit is installed. The condenser also contains the compressor. Refrigerator coils and PVC lines run from the condenser to the indoor unit.</p>
<p><span id="more-53"></span></p>
<p>A window air conditioner is fitted on a window or a space made by cutting the wall. Once the window air conditioner has been installed, the surrounding areas are sealed off properly so that there is no leakage of cold air. The indoor unit of a split air conditioner is fitted on the wall, at a height specified by the manufacturers.</p>
<p>There is no need to cut any window or any part of the wall, although some holes are made for the refrigerator coils and the PVC line. Apart from these differences, the way these air conditioners work is similar. Both have refrigerator coils that absorb heated and humid air from the room and replace it with cooled and dehumidified air.</p>
<p>Among all electrical appliances, air conditioners <strong>consume the maximum amount of power</strong>. With the general increase in global temperature, more and more consumers are now buying air conditioners. Air conditioners have now moved from luxury items to essential items. However, most users get a chock when they receive their first electricity bill after using the air conditioner.</p>
<p>An air conditioner is rated by the number of <strong>British Thermal Unites (BTU)</strong>. BTU is used to gauge the energy efficiency ratio of an air conditioner. The energy efficiency ratio lists the number of BTU the air conditioner removes for each unit of power it draws to function. For split air conditioners, the energy efficiency ratio is called seasonal energy efficiency ratio.</p>
<p>It is common knowledge that more the energy efficiency ration more is the amount of power saved. <strong>Windows air conditioners consume less power than split air conditioners with the same BTU</strong>. However, it all depends on the positioning of the unit. A windows air conditioner that is not positioned to work at its best may end up consuming more power than a properly positioned split air conditioner with the same BTU.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>It is a common misperception that a bigger air conditioner cools more. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<h2>Effective cooling</h2>
<p>Contrary to this myth, effective cooling depends upon the positioning of the unit. However, the fact is that windows air conditioners work better in smaller rooms and split air conditioners are better for larger rooms. If someone buys a big house, the best option is to go for a <strong>ductless central air conditioning system</strong>.</p>
<p>People, who don’t want to invest so much, usually go for a normal split air conditioner or a windows air conditioner. If the rooms in the house are very large, then for effective cooling, a split air conditioner is a better option. But they are more expensive then windows air conditioners.</p>
<p>So, people may want to go for a mix and match solution and install split air conditioners in the drawing rooms and windows air conditioners in the bedrooms. However, another aspect of split air conditioners is that they are very quiet and may be installed in bedrooms if someone has trouble sleeping with noise around.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignright" style="margin: 5px;" src="http://splitairconditioning.net/wp-content/themes/thesis-15/rotator/air-conditioner-leak.jpg" alt="air conditioner leaking" width="202" height="269" />One of the most common issues that come up with split air conditioners is that they start to leak. The leaks could be of different types. There could be cases where water leaks out from the unit and there could be other cases where there is a leak in the Freon line.</p>
<p>When the refrigerator coils suck in warm air from the air and cools it. As a result of this cooling, condensed water vapor is formed on the refrigerator coils. When this water vapor is converted to water, it drips on the gutter tray. The gutter tray has an outlet that carries this water and disposes it elsewhere, in most cases, outside.</p>
<p>In some cases, this outlet gets blocked and the water starts accumulating in the gutter tray. This is when the air conditioner starts leaking. This can be resolved rather easily.<br />

<p>The more dangerous case is when there is a leak in the Freon line. As a result of this leak, highly pressurized Freon gas starts leaking into the room. In extreme cases, this can cause an explosion too. There are special leak detection solutions that can help identify this leak.</p>
<p>These solutions are applied to all parts of the Freon line. If there are bubbles forming, then one can identify that there is a leak. The moment a leak is identified, experts should be consulted to take care of this issue before it becomes too big an issue.</p>
<p>There are various ways to fix a hole or leak in the Freon line. However, fixing a hole in the Freon line doesn’t fall under the category of common troubleshooting. For these cases, it is almost mandatory to seek professional help. There are thousands of ac technicians on the yellow pages and one phone call is all that it takes to get someone come over and fix the leak.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin: 5px;" src="http://splitairconditioning.net/wp-content/themes/thesis-15/rotator/Super%20Seal%20HVAC.jpg" alt="HVAC SUPER SEAL CHEMICAL" width="200" height="205" />For <strong>very small leaks</strong>, there are chemicals that are available in the market. For example, there is a chemical called Super Seal HVAC that can be used to fix small holes in the Freon line. However, this chemical will certainly not work for bigger holes.</p>
<p>If the air conditioner is losing too much of charge too frequently, that means the chemical is not working. In another method,<strong> smooth graphite and Teflon particles</strong> are mixed with the refrigeration oil and injected into the Freon line. These particles get forced into the leaks and stop them. However, this solution is also for small leaks. For larger leaks, experts must be consulted.</p>
<h2>Recharge the air conditioning unit</h2>
<p>The items that are needed to recharge the air conditioning unit are a pressure gauge and a refrigerant (Freon). At first, any leaks in the Freon line need to be detected and sealed. After the sealing is done, recharging is started. Any air conditioner has two pressure ports – high and low.</p>
<p>Recharging is always done through the low pressure port. So, the first step is to locate it. Usually, the high and low pressure ports are indicated with H and L respectively. Once the low pressure port is discovered, the cap on it should be cleaned thoroughly and then taken out.</p>
<p>The pressure gauge is then attached to the low port and with the air conditioner turned on, the pressure is gauged. The user manual will list the ideal pressure.</p>
<p>After the pressure is gauged and found to be low, the refrigerant is put inside the unit through the low pressure port until the pressure reaches the optimum level. Recharging a split air conditioner is also an issue that is best handled by experts. Before doing anything else, the users should check the yellow pages.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>LG offers many premier split air conditioner models which are just apt for cooling, during hot summers. These air conditioner offer great cooling and are easy to install.  They offer versatile usage and they can be used in many places such as private residences, hotel, hospitals, commercial complexes and much more.</p>
<p>If you have been looking for a split air conditioner system that gives you considerable cooling, the LG split ac models are the ones that you need to check out.</p>
<p>There are many advantages in using a split air conditioner. It’s the best thing to install, when you are in need of space. They work more quietly and are also more energy efficient since they do not need the use of any ducts. You would have to have a small hole drilled into the wall for installation purposes. Split air conditioners come with cooling power enough to give you the kind of cooling your require.</p>
<p>You can find all such advantages in using an LG Split air conditioner and much more. Lets’ take a look at a couple of LG split air conditioner models.</p>

<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://splitairconditioning.net/wp-content/themes/thesis-15/rotator/LG%20LMU240HE.jpg" alt="LG LMU240HE air conditioner" width="202" height="150" /><br />
One interesting LG spit air conditioner model is the <strong>LG LMU240HE</strong>. It has a 2 x 12,000 BTU and a 13 SEER Rating which means you get considerable high cooling from this model and energy consumption is also efficient. SEER is the rating given to denote energy efficiency of a split air conditioners and the higher the rating the better the air conditioner’s performance. In terms of noise, this is a system that does not produce much noise while running. Their computer controlled vanes allow for more natural flow of air and it can be operated via remote control.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignright" style="margin: 5px;" src="http://splitairconditioning.net/wp-content/themes/thesis-15/rotator/Split%20Air%20Conditioner%20System.jpg" alt="air conditioning system" width="198" height="151" />Split air conditioners have a split design with an external or out door unit that houses the compressor and one or more internal units that are served by the compressor and house the air handlers. Their design makes them similar to central air conditioning units however the fact that they use smaller air ducts makes them less expensive and easier to install.</p>
<p>In a split air conditioner the refrigerant is pumped to the cooling coil in the air handlers through the ducting. The conduit which just needs a three inch hole drilled in the wall connects the inner and the outer unit. It houses the refrigerant and suction tubing, the condensate drain and the power cable.</p>
<p><span id="more-50"></span></p>
<h2>Advantages</h2>
<p>Split system air conditioners have many advantages over the traditional central air conditioning systems. The primary benefit is ability for zoning so that you can cool or heat individual rooms, thereby saving energy. They are also considerable smaller than central air conditioners.</p>
<p>The internal units of split system air conditioners are designed to suit the decor of your home. The installation is fairly simple and one out door unit can serve up to four indoor units. Since the connecting conduit has to be bought separately and is available in different lengths you can place the internal and external units almost 50 feet apart.</p>
<p>There is also a lot of flexibility in terms of the indoor units. You can choose the traditional wall mounted design or go for the ceiling mounted model. The indoor units can also be suspended from the ceiling or you can opt for the newer floor standing models. Almost all manufacturers offer remote controlled units so it’s easier to switch them on or off.</p>
<p>The refrigerant used in most spilt system air conditioners in environment friendly Freon. Most manufacturers will include refrigerant specifications in the user manual.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://splitairconditioning.net/wp-content/themes/thesis-15/rotator/split-air-conditioning-system.jpg" alt="" width="201" height="238" /></p>
<p>While choosing a split air conditioner the first thing to look for is the cooling capacity.</p>
<p>Units are available from 12000 BTU and even though they are cheaper than central air conditioners they are certainly more expensive than the window air conditioners. Prices for a 1 ton unit can range from $1100 to $2300.</p>
<p>This does not include the installation charges. You will need the services of an HVAC professional to install a split air conditioner. He will set up the lines for drainage, electricity and coolant and put in the right amount of coolant. The tubing needed may have to be purchased separately.</p>
<p>Usually a single indoor unit is enough to cool one zone or room but this depends on the insulation, the amount of sunlight received in the room, other electrical appliances being operated in the room and the number of people. If your BTU requirement is more you can even opt for two indoor units for one room. Since the compressor is in the external unit, split air conditioners are remarkably quiet.</p>
<p>Depending on the BTU requirement and the number of rooms you will also have to make a choice between dual zone and triple zone versions. A dual zone model has two air handlers while a triple zone unit has three air handlers.</p>
<p>Many newer models also have heating options in the split air conditioning units. The heating is achieved through the use of electric heat strips or heat pumps.</p>
<p>The other things to consider would be the voltage requirements. The 5 star rating acts like a seal of approval from the US department of energy and is given to products that are very energy efficient without compromising on the performance or features. So look for the 5 star logo on the product.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignright" style="margin: 5px;" src="http://splitairconditioning.net/wp-content/themes/thesis-15/rotator/Ductless%20air%20conditioners.jpg" alt="ductless mini split air conditioner " width="200" height="168" />Ductless air conditioners have two units one placed indoors and the other placed outside.</p>
<p>The two units are connected through simple copper tubing and electrical wiring. The condenser coil and the compressor in the outdoor unit pump the refrigerant through the tubing to the indoor unit.</p>
<p>This refrigerant cools the evaporator coil and a fan in the indoor unit distributes the air cooled by passing over the evaporator coil in the room.</p>
<p><span id="more-26"></span><br />
The primary components of a ductless air conditioner are :</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Outdoor Unit</strong>: Comprises of the condensing unit and the compressor and is places outside</li>
<li><strong>The Conduit</strong>: It houses the copper tubes, electrical wires and refrigerant lines that connect the out and indoor unit.</li>
<li><strong>The Indoor unit</strong>: This unit houses the air handler and a fan. It is usually available in a range of shapes and sizes and can be wall or ceiling mounted.</li>
<li><strong>A Remote Control</strong>: A wireless remote control is used to operate the system.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Installation</h2>
<p>The unit will have to be installed by a certified HVAC professional. You will need a fairly small opening just 2-3 inches to accommodate the conduit. The professional will run the copper tubes for the refrigerant, the drainage lines and the electrical wiring. He will also power the unit with the right amount of refrigerant which in this case is usually environment friendly freon.</p>
<p>However, the entire installation procedure can cost anywhere between $2000-$5000 for an 800-1000 square foot home. The installation of a complete ductless split air system in a 2000 square foot home can set you back by as much as $5000 to $7000</p>
<p>Even though the installation cost is fairly steep, the units are still very popular because the installation is cheaper and hassle free as compared to the central air conditioning units. They also require less space.</p>
<h2>Zonal Control</h2>
<p>Another benefit associated with the dustless split air conditioning systems is zonal control. This means that if you buy a two zone unit which will have two air handlers (indoor units) each one of them will have its own thermostat and can be controlled independently from the other.</p>
<p>This amounts to substantial energy and operating cost savings. Most central air conditioning systems don’t have this feature because they have a single out door unit that supplies the refrigerant to a single indoor unit where the air is cooled and sent to the various outlets through ducts. Also central air conditioner system ducts take a lot more space. The ductless split systems are substantially cheaper than central air conditioning units.</p>
<p>However they are more expensive than the window or wall mounted air conditioners. But their features give them an edge over here as well. Most window units are very noisy and since they have to be mounted on the wall you need to either create a special opening for them or buy a unit that fits into an existing opening.</p>
<p>The units are bulky and the large opening may often pose a security hazard. A ductless air conditioning system is almost silent since the compressor and condenser and placed outside. Also the opening needed is very small so they are considerably safer. You have various mounting options for the indoor units which can be mounted on the wall or ceiling or can even be suspended from the ceiling. They are designed to blend with the decor of most houses and are significantly smaller than the window units.</p>
<p>Also in terms of electricity consumption, most ductless air conditioners are far more energy efficient than the window mounted or central air conditioners</p>
<p>So, it can be safely suggested that even though ductless air conditioning systems have their own pros and cons they are better than any of the other air conditioning solutions in the market.</p>

<p>Well Sanyo’s split and ductless air-conditioners solve this requirement perfectly by providing you with a cool and quiet indoor environment that you enjoy.</p>
<p>But what is the basic difference between a split Air Conditioner (A.C) and a central air conditioner?</p>
<p>Mainly suitable for offices and large commercial operations, central air-conditioners use a system of supply and return ducts and a set of registers to circulate cool air.</p>
<p>You may often see openings or grills fitted in the walls, floors, or ceilings in case the place has a Central A.C installed.</p>
<p>Well these openings or return ducts along with supply ducts carry cooled air from the AC and circulate it in your entire home, which becomes warmer on circulation.  The return ducts and registers then carry this warm air back to the Central Air Conditioner unit comprising of the evaporator, condenser, and compressor.</p>
<p>All these parts of the Central AC are packed into one unit and are kept on a slab made of concrete on the roof of your building.</p>
<p><span id="more-22"></span></p>
<p>The Split Air conditioners, also known as mini-split units,  though based on the same model as a Central Air conditioner comprises of 2 units, one that sits inside the building, known as air handler  and the other that is placed outside.</p>
<p>The air handler comprises of an<strong> evaporator and a blower</strong>, while the outside unit consists of a condenser and a compressor. This AC is quiet efficient, provides continuous cool air, and doesn’t make much noise primarily because its compressor is located outside your home.</p>
<p>And what’s more these <strong>mini split units are ductless</strong> and therefore help in energy conservation too. They avoid energy losses generally associated with the ducts of Central AC systems. These mini-splits are mostly suitable with closed building s having no windows or openings.</p>
<p>They also <strong>perfectly suit the requirements of the buildings with no central air-conditioning</strong> and are best fit for people who don’t want to listen to the noise of Window ACs.  It is based on the same phenomenon as the normal refrigeration unit found in the refrigerators we use in our homes.</p>
<p>Sanyo’s mini split air conditioners and Ductless air conditioners are best suited to cool and heat for buildings with no place to fit air ducts and also those old-style homes and buildings fitted with radiators or baseboard heaters.</p>
<p>What’s more these ACs are much <strong>small in size</strong> when compared to their other counterparts and since they are not fitted with ducts they provide flexible zooming facility too. What’s more these Sanyo ductless air conditioners are perfect solutions for sunrooms, newly added rooms in your buildings, computer data entry rooms, small and Home offices and offices made in garages.</p>
<p>The Sanyo ductless air conditioner provides you with <strong>different heating and cooling modes</strong> such as High Power mode where the unit performs at its maximum capacity, energy-saving mode, where the Air Conditioning unit adjusts energy according to the room temperature, and the Automatic Sensor mode, where the unit automatically adjusts cooling and heating modes ensuring efficient and economical cooling and heating operation.</p>
<p>What’s more, the products in this series of Air Conditioners are equipped with tiny rotary compressors that reduce vibration significantly and ensure a <strong>quiet operation leading to a noiseless environmen</strong>t.</p>
<p>All Sanyo’s mini split air conditioners are integrated with inverter technology and meet the DOE of 13 SEER which is the minimum requirement in this category. What’s more these ACs come fitted with <strong>Air Clean Apatite Filters</strong> leading made up of Apatite or Calcium Phosphate, a chemical that is very effective in trapping germs, mites, dirt, and dust. What’s more these products can reduce or totally eliminate the cigarette odor too.</p>
<p>Therefore, we can say that investing in Sanyo’s mini split air conditioners and Sanyo Ductless air conditioners is the best and most economical choice that one can make. And, by doing a little research about the products you can get the best price deals too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignright" style="margin: 5px;" src="http://splitairconditioning.net/wp-content/themes/thesis-15/rotator/Fujitsu%20mini%20split%20air%20conditioner.jpg" alt="fujitsu air conditioner" width="200" height="150" />These days, mini split air conditioners are creating a lot of buzz. According to the US Department of Energy, these air conditioners have the capacity to reduce energy loss by almost 30%.</p>
<p>In addition to being cost effective, these ductless air conditioners also provide more flexibility and safety. If you are intending to buy a split air conditioner, then Fujitsu mini split air conditioner is the best for you.</p>
<p>There are several features that make Fujitsu split air conditioner ideal for your home. Let’s consider them one by one.<br />
<span id="more-15"></span></p>
<h2>The design</h2>
<p>Fujitsu mini split air conditioner consists of two units; the indoor unit called the air handler or evaporator and the outdoor unit called the condenser or compressor. Both the units are connected to each other by a conduit that consists of a power cable, copper tubing and a drain for the condenser. A 3-inch hole is required to tie both the units together.</p>
<p>All in all, unlike the conventional air-duct air conditioners, these air conditioners are aesthetically pleasing. They are neither bulky nor do they require any special structural alterations. As the inner unit can either be mounted on the ceiling or hung on the wall, these air conditioners provide a lot of flexibility. Moreover, they are easy to install and they can be fully controlled via a remote.</p>
<p>The only disadvantage with respect to design is that mini split air conditioners from Fujitsu are only available in one standard color, beige. Presently, alternate colors are not available. Furthermore, evaporators also cannot be painted.</p>
<h2>The benefits</h2>
<p>The chief benefits of a Fujitsu mini split air conditioner are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Less noisy</strong>- In the case of ductless split air conditioners, the noise-making components like compressor and motors are installed outside. Due to this, the air conditioner operates quietly.</li>
<li><strong>Require minimum structural alterations </strong>- The inner and outer components of the air conditioner can be connected through a 3-inch hole. This is the only structural alteration that is required.</li>
<li><strong>Energy efficient</strong> &#8211; The greatest benefit of Fujitsu mini split air conditioner is that it is very energy efficient and thus, also cost effective.  As this type of split air conditioner doesn’t have any duct, therefore the energy loss is reduced by almost 30%. Energy saving directly translates into cost saving.</li>
<li><strong>Individual zoning</strong> &#8211; Unlike the central air systems that cool or heat all the areas equally, ductless split air conditioners make individual zoning possible due to which only the occupied areas are heated or cooled and not the remaining areas. As many as four air handlers can be installed in different regions of the house, and they all require only one condenser. The individual zoning feature also reduces electricity bill to a great extent.</li>
<li><strong>Eco-friendly</strong> &#8211; These air conditioners do not cause the depletion of the ozone layer and hence, they are very environment-friendly.</li>
<li><strong>Enhance safety and security</strong> &#8211; Last, but not the least; Fujitsu split air conditioner doesn’t require any kind of windows or large holes. In this manner, such an air conditioner keeps away the intruders and gives your home a pleasant view.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Installation</h2>
<p>As far as the installation of Fujitsu mini split air conditioner is concerned, it is certainly easy, but you cannot do it on your own. A qualified installer would be required to drill the hole, fix the conduit and the condensate drain, and finally, charge the air conditioner with the right amount of coolant. He will also help you to demarcate the zones for better results.</p>
<h2>Price</h2>
<p>Fujitsu split air conditioner is certainly costly, but it is very sturdy and doesn’t require too much of maintenance. Additionally, it also effectively reduces your electricity bill. One more thing that makes the high-price acceptable is the warranty; the company provides 2-years warranty on the parts and 6-years warranty on the compressor.</p>
<p>The discussion in above paragraphs candidly states that ductless mini spilt air conditioner is the best air conditioner that money can buy.  If you take into account the various benefits that these split air conditioners offer, then the installations hassles and exorbitant price can be safely overlooked. In the long run, your mini split air conditioner will give you true value for your money.</p>
