Ducted Split Unit

What is a Ducted Split System؟

A ducted split system is one of the most modern HVAC solutions that provides both cooling and heating for buildings. Its operation is similar to a conventional air conditioner, but instead of a wall-mounted indoor unit, it uses a central air handler connected to ducts, which distributes air evenly throughout different areas of the building. For this reason, ducted split systems have become a popular choice in construction projects.

Components of a Ducted Split System

A ducted split system consists of two main units:

  • Indoor Unit (Air Handler): Installed inside the ceiling and connected to air ducts
  • Outdoor Unit (Condensing Unit): Installed on the rooftop or balcony

These two units are connected using copper piping, and the system is controlled via a digital or smart thermostat.
