An air conditioning system is undoubtedly an investment for any property owner. If you are thinking of installing one for your property, whether you have a commercial, industrial, or residential property, it's essential to consider several key factors. First, it would be a good idea to familiarise yourself with the different kinds available. Some of the most popular types include the split-system and the multiple-split system, amongst others. But there are other major considerations when it comes to your air conditioning system, and you'd want to make sure you select the right one based on these considerations. So how can you choose the best type of air conditioning for your needs? Here are your top pointers.

Understand the selection process
The selection process will involve three critical steps. First, you will have to figure out your requirements regarding the unit or system's cooling capacity. Secondly, you have to choose the actual unit – be it a single-split, a multiple-split with several indoor components connected to one large outdoor part, a floor-mounted unit, a ceiling cassette or cartridge system, a ceiling-suspended unit, and so on. It can be quite a wide range of choices depending on your needs, but your chosen installer can provide you with an assessment and recommendations so you can more easily select the ideal units and system.

You also have to consider other crucial factors, such as the unit or system’s actual (physical) size and shape and whether or not it will fit into your available space, the system’s function, its aesthetics, its noise, and its cost.

There are other top pointers, as follows:

If you are installing an air conditioning system for a domestic application or a small commercial property, your choice will often come down to floor-mounted or wall-mounted units or a window-type air conditioner. With this, consider your budget because if you can afford a floor- or wall-mounted system, it's better to go for these since they offer enhanced functionality and are quieter than a window unit.
If you are dealing with restrictions on planning that prevent you from placing an outdoor condenser near or on your structure or building, you may want to go for floor-mounted or wall-mounted monoblocks.
Air conditioning systems nowadays can also come with a heating capacity, and if you are looking for such, you would need a system that comes with a heat pump. Unfortunately, because of this, you can only choose a split system. But floor- and wall-mounted monoblocks also come with heat pump recovery.
If you prefer a portable or moveable unit, then a mobile air conditioner or a split-type, easy-fit air conditioner may be a good choice. These are often ideal for those who rent a property.
If you are opting for a mobile system, you can choose between split or monoblock units. In general, monoblock units are more in-demand than split units by those requiring a larger capacity.
If your home is large or you have a shop or other large structure, it would be best to choose different kinds of air conditioning systems, such as duct-mounted systems, ceiling cassette systems, and more.
