Air conditioning
Quick question, what connects between the unit on the wall outside and the unit on the wall inside ?
Re: Air conditioning
Two cables, one for power and one for control signals and two copper pipes.All should easily go through 40mm hole in the wall. When I fitted my aircon I fitted 40 mm plastic pipe through the wall.

Re: Air conditioning
Is there a distance restriction Gerry ? can I run two inside units off one fridge (for want of a better description)
Re: Air conditioning
You can buy units that run off one outside fan unit but there not cheap. You will need something like these.

I know it's for Australia but you'll get an idea as to what you need.

Just google multi head air con unit. It's a dual inverter you will need.

Re: Air conditioning
normally one outside unit to one internal unit is best.

All my best learning experiences start with a problem I need to solve.

As Swerve has said you can get multi head units but I would suspect that two normal systems would be more efficient/ cheaper than a multi head system.

Re: Air conditioning
There is usually a restriction with new units, but that is only because they come with pregassed pipes, usually 10m long. As far as I know, you just add extra pipes to extend the distance. There may well be an ultimate restriction as clearly you can't pump the gas for miles!
I originally looked at multi head units as we need five. You can get up to four, but they were more expensive than single units. They are normally used when you don't have the space for individual compressor units, or you just don't like the look of them.

Thanks Gents, getting quotes later , forewarned as they say.
Re: Air conditioning
We got multi-split units here (2 outside units running 8 inside units) 10 years ago. Cost then was around €9,000. Very effective but quite simply - a complete waste of money. We never have more a couple on at any time. Next time I'll go for single units. I took a trip to Worten and talked to one of the salesmen. He showed me a unit that is fine for up to 15m2. Cost was just under €300. They charge €150 to fit as long as the distance between the units is up to 4 metres. In short, for €450 you have one unit installed.
If one of your units is for a bedroom you may want to pay a hundred or so more as the decibels are lower. Having said that, with the system we currently have, any time we have it on in the bedroom, it's on for about half an hour before we go to bed. We then put it on "whisper" control set for anything up to 7 hours.
Extremely cost effective.

Re: Air conditioning
Thinking of buying a Worten air con unit, anyone tried these? Any good. One I'm looking at is 329 euros online?
Re: Air conditioning
We bought ours from eroski and they have been no bother upto now.

Re: Air conditioning
The problem with buying little-known brands (of anything, including AC) is that when things go wrong, or need service parts, these may simply be unobtainable. It's a bit of a gamble.
With leading brands (Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Daikin...) you pay more, but parts availability will continue for years, and both main and independent repairers will have good access to them.
Worton is, IMHO, in the same class of retailer as Currys, PC World, Dixons etc., where the name of the game is pile 'em high, sell 'em quick, and bundle in an extended service contract. Wouldn't be my choice, except on a 'throwaway' basis.

Re: Air conditioning
Or you extend the guarantee to 5 years. If it fails, it's the shop's problem. Worten tend not repair. Any malfunction and they replace.

Re: Air conditioning
I assume one would include the 5yr warranty cost as well as the cost to remove and replace the bad unit when making price comparisons? Or does the warranty include all ancillary costs involved with a failed unit? Sometimes the really cheap stuff can be a good deal if all the details align......
