Split systems are currently the most popular type of air conditioner for apartments. They consist of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The former is installed indoors, while the latter is installed outdoors. Since the outdoor unit is mounted outside, its operation doesn’t cause much noise inside; its noise level can be a maximum of 24-35 decibels, depending on the chosen device.
Air conditioners for apartments, depending on the installation method, can be ducted, floor-mounted, wall-mounted, cassette, or floor-ceiling mounted.
When designing an air conditioning system for an apartment, Kliwenta’s staff pay attention to all nuances. These include the room’s volume, its orientation relative to cardinal directions, the materials used for wall construction, the number of residents, and more. An improper approach to equipment selection may result in an air conditioning system that cannot function properly, causing not only operational issues but also financial loss. Therefore, Kliwenta’s specialists do not recommend self-installing air conditioners in an apartment. This should be done by professionals.
There are two types of air conditioners: inverter and non-inverter. The former offer energy savings and maintain set parameters. However, the price of such an air conditioner may not be affordable for everyone. Therefore, split systems are an alternative. If you need to choose an economically efficient and quiet air conditioner, inverter split systems are recommended.
Which Air Conditioner to Choose
The power of almost all domestic air conditioners is roughly the same, and their functionality is similar. To select the optimal equipment, taking into account all the characteristics of the space and the requirements of its residents, it’s better to seek assistance from specialists. This is especially important for those who want to choose an air conditioner with the ideal price-to-quality ratio. Kliwenta’s professionals will select the optimal air conditioner that has the necessary functionality without overpaying for it.
Although wall-mounted split systems capable of mixing fresh air have recently entered the market, many manufacturers recommend this equipment as the ideal option for apartments. However, such systems have significant drawbacks. In most apartments, air conditioners operate only during the summer. This means that only during this period does the wall-mounted split system help with ventilation issues. However, ventilation is required year-round. Even if you wanted to use such an air conditioner in winter, it is generally not possible, as the oil in the compressor freezes, causing system failure. At best, a safety system might activate to prevent damage. Any malfunction results in additional costs.
Moreover, in such split systems, air mixing occurs through a thin tube, which simply cannot provide adequate ventilation, which should be in the range of 40-120 m³/h.3/h.
Therefore, the installation of air conditioners helps maintain an optimal temperature in the room. However, when it comes to ventilation or supply systems, apartment owners should not overlook their importance.
Najlepszy system typu split
Biorąc pod uwagę dość niskie temperatury zimą, aby zapewnić komfortowe warunki w mieszkaniu, lepiej zainstalować klimatyzatory z funkcją ogrzewania powietrza. Oczywiście cena takiego sprzętu jest wyższa, ale jest to uzasadnione jego funkcjonalnością. Przykładowo, w okresie pierwszych mrozów, gdy sezon grzewczy jeszcze się nie rozpoczął, zamiast grzejników można zastosować takie split-systemy. Jest to opłacalna opcja, której cena zwróci się wystarczająco szybko.
If there’s a need to use the air conditioner year-round, Kliwenta experts recommend equipping the installation with a special winter kit. This will allow the air conditioner to function normally even at the lowest temperatures. However, it’s worth noting that the lifespan of such equipment might decrease.
To correctly select and install an air conditioner in an apartment, it’s best to turn to the specialists at Kliwenta.
