When considering Heating & Cooling, you often think of evaporative cooling and gas ducted heating in Melbourne. However, don’t jump in too fast. Before making such an investment, be sure to weigh your options. The best alternative to two separate systems is a Split System heating and cooling unit. These units are easy to install and have several advantages:

1. Energy efficiency:
A split system offers a ductless design. Unlike typical ducted systems where air travels
through large ducts that wear with age and struggle with insulation, losing temperature, a Split System cools air instantaneously through its narrow, direct pipes, providing the most energy-efficient cooling or heating system.
2. Hassle-free Installation:
Installing a split system, unlike an evaporated system, is seemingly much easier. The pipe work from the external unit to the internal unit is only 7.5 cm wide, making it much less intrusive on your home. At Next Electrical & Data, we always go the extra mile to ensure your split system unit is installed seamlessly.
3. Electrical costs are lowering every day:
With skyrocketing gas costs, a split system is now a more economical way of heating your home. If you’re conscious of the environment and your energy bills, adding a solar system to your electrical future could make your energy costs completely redundant and go carbon-neutral while still enjoying the perfect temperature.
4. Silent operation with no noise:
The operation of these split units is so quiet that you do not realise they are on. A split system operates at 19 decibels—between a needle dropping and a whisper.

5. Global warming and changing temperature:
Melbourne’s temperature is changing, and with rising summer temperatures and high humidity levels, evaporative systems struggle to keep up. A Split system, however, does the job regardless of the temperature as it is a refrigerated system.
6. Little to No Maintenance:
Split system air conditioners can be maintained easily. The filters, requiring periodic washing, are easily detachable and can be separately washed. The outdoor unit is designed for seldom maintenance.
7. Longevity and life span:
Some units today have built-in self-diagnosis technology and automatic cleaning features, ensuring longevity and saving costs in the years to come.
8. Smart Phone & Wifi Connectivity:
Air conditioning technology has advanced, integrating smartphone and Wi-Fi connectivity. You can control these units via direct connection or Wi-Fi, allowing control from any connected Android or iOS device.
