1. VRF – This is a variable refrigerant flow unit and will consist of a number of different units handling air that are then all connected to one single external condensing unit.

This particular system offers the user the chance to vary the flow of cool air through using either an inverter controlled variable speed compressor or multiple compressors. They work by responding to changes which occur within the air conditioned space.

These types of air conditioning units are very popular as they allow you the chance to mix a number of different models together depending on the kind of building in which they will be located. You could if you wanted have both wall and ceiling mounted units in your home and this will then mean that the cool air is distributed throughout your home more evenly.

2. Split System –Which is made up of two parts, the first being the main evaporator unit which will be placed in your home. The second being an external condenser box that is either placed on a wall outside held in place using brackets or it can be just placed on the ground or on the top of a flat roof.

The main reason that so many people opt to have this type of air conditioning unit in their home is that they don’t need the condenser inside. So the sound that this unit makes is much lower and you won’t have to worry about sounds or noises being produced by it and drowning out the sound of your TV or stereo.

3. Portable Air Conditioning Units – These types of units are ideally suited for small rooms such as a bedroom. Plus these prove very popular because they can actually be moved around in your home and when you actually move home they can be taken with you.

It is important before you make any purchase however that you spend time looking at them all carefully. This way you will then be able to determine just which of the systems available is most beneficial to you and your home.
