Split Service

Split Air Conditioning Service
A split air conditioner (often referred to simply as a “split AC”) is a type of cooling system where the main components of the air conditioner are divided into two parts: the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. The indoor unit is located inside the room to cool the air, while the outdoor unit houses components like the compressor and condenser coil that are responsible for releasing the heat outside.

Split AC service refers to the maintenance and repair work carried out to ensure that the split air conditioner operates efficiently, has a longer lifespan, and provides effective cooling. Split AC systems, due to their advanced cooling mechanism and dual-unit design, require specific care for optimal functioning.

Key Components of a Split AC:
Indoor Unit:
ThOutdoor Unit:
The outdoor unit contains the compressor, condenser coil, and expansion valve. It works to expel the heat absorbed by the refrigerant from the indoor air.
Key Services Involved in Split AC Maintenance:
Cleaning of Filters:

One of the most common and essential services for a split air conditioner is cleaning or replacing the air filters. The filters trap dust, dirt, pollen, and other contaminants from the air, ensuring better air quality and preventing the system from getting clogged.
Dirty filters can reduce airflow, leading to a decrease in cooling efficiency, and can increase energy consumption.
Cleaning the Coils:

Evaporator and Condenser Coils in the indoor and outdoor units need regular cleaning. Over time, dust and dirt can accumulate on these coils, affecting their ability to transfer heat. A clean coil ensures the unit works efficiently, providing optimal cooling.
The evaporator coil in the indoor unit absorbs heat, while the condenser coil in the outdoor unit releases heat. Both must be kept clean to avoid overworking the compressor.e indoor unit contains the evaporator coil, the blower fan, and the air filter. It is responsible for circulating cool air inside the room.Checking and Replacing Refrigerant:

The refrigerant is the substance that absorbs heat inside the room and releases it outside. Low refrigerant levels can result in insufficient cooling and cause the system to strain. Split AC service includes checking the refrigerant levels and refilling them if necessary.
It’s essential to check for leaks in the system, as refrigerant loss can occur, which would require repair and recharging.
Inspecting the Compressor:

The compressor, located in the outdoor unit, is one of the most critical components of the AC. It pressurizes the refrigerant and allows it to flow through the system.
Regular maintenance includes inspecting the compressor for any wear and tear or damage and ensuring that it is functioning properly.
Drainage System Inspection:

Split AC systems have a drainage pipe that allows moisture and condensed water to be removed from the system. This water comes from the humidity present in the air, which is removed as the AC cools the space.
Blockages in the drainage pipe can lead to water leakage, which can damage the indoor unit and the wall. Regular servicing ensures the drainage system is free of obstructions and working properly.
