Option A: Single Split System

Best for: Heating or cooling one room.

A single split system is a cost-effective way to make a single space – like your bedroom or living area – warm in winter and cool in summer.

  • Cost Effective – Ideal if you only need to heat or cool one room.
  • Attractive Design – Choose from a range of stylish wall-mounted or floor-mounted indoor units.
  • Flexible Installation – The outdoor
    unit can be placed up to 20 to 30 metres away from the indoor unit, making
    it easy to position out of sight.
  • Quiet Performance – Some models operate as quietly as 19 dBA, making them among the quietest available.
  • Individual Control – Each system works independently, giving you full control over that specific room.

Option B: Multi Split System

Best for: Multiple rooms with individual temperature control.

Multi split systems are ideal for families or homes where you want different rooms at different temperatures, without needing multiple outdoor units.

  • Efficient Heating and Cooling – One outdoor unit can connect to up to five indoor units, making it an energy-efficient choice.
  • Room-by-Room Control – Each indoor unit can be operated separately, allowing you to adjust the temperature in each space or turn off units in unused rooms.
  • Stylish Options – A variety of indoor unit designs are available to suit different types of rooms and layouts.
  • Flexible Layouts – Each system can be tailored to suit the unique design and needs of your home.
  • Great for medium to large homes where individual comfort matters

Ducted System

Best for: Whole-home comfort with a clean, seamless look.

If you're after a central heating and cooling system that's out of sight but works throughout your home, a ducted system could be the right solution.

  • Great for Retrofits – Works well in many single-level homes, including older bungalows and villas, where there is space in the ceiling or under the floor.
  • Discreet Appearance – Only the air vents (grilles) are visible, keeping your interiors clean and uncluttered.
  • Centralised Control – Heat or cool your entire home at the touch of a button.
  • Energy Efficient – Offers lower running costs compared to many traditional heating systems.
  • All-Year Comfort – Provides both heating in winter and cooling in summer.
  • Quiet Operation – Designed for quiet performance so you can enjoy a peaceful home environment.
  • Ideal for new builds or homeowners wanting whole-home coverage.
