Which type of air conditioner should you choose?

In this collection you will find every type of air conditioner, organised to help you work out which one suits you. The choice depends on how many rooms you want to air condition, the space available and the type of installation possible. A single split serves one room, a multi split connects several indoor units to a single outdoor unit, while cassette and ducted units are designed for commercial spaces or for discreet integration into the false ceiling. With over 2000 models available for immediate dispatch and prices from 99 to 6152 euros, here you start from the type and arrive at the right model.

If you are only after wall-mounted units, the most common form in homes, you can go straight to the wall-mounted air conditioners.

Single split: one room, a simple solution

The single split connects one indoor unit to a single outdoor unit. It is the most common choice for air conditioning a single room such as the bedroom, living room or study, and it is easy to install and to size. Power is measured in BTU: in the catalogue the most requested outputs are 9000 BTU for rooms up to about 25 m², 12000 BTU for spaces from 25 to 35 m², 18000 BTU for larger spaces and 24000 BTU for big floor areas.

You will find the wall-mounted models in the dedicated collection of single split wall-mounted air conditioners, or the cassette variants among the single split cassette units.

Multi split, dual and triple: several rooms with one outdoor unit

When you want to air condition two or more rooms while reducing the footprint outside, the solution is a multi split system: a single outdoor unit serves several indoor units, each with its own remote and its own temperature. The dual split connects two indoor units, the triple split connects three, and you can go up to penta systems. It is the ideal choice for flats spread across several rooms, where a single outdoor unit simplifies the installation and the look of the façade.

Cassette and ducted: for large spaces and discreet installations

Cassette air conditioners recess into the false ceiling and distribute air evenly on four sides: they are the typical choice for shops, offices and open-plan spaces. Ducted models stay completely hidden, because the air travels through ducts and is delivered through vents: only the grilles are visible, for a clean and elegant result. Both types need space in the false ceiling and a more structured installation than the classic wall-mounted split, but they offer a superior finish. You will find the built-in units among the cassette air conditioners.

Portable and floor-standing: without an outdoor unit

When you cannot install an outdoor unit, for example in a rented home or in a block of flats with restrictions, you still have portable air conditioners and floor-standing models. The portable is a single-block unit on wheels that expels hot air through a hose to be placed at the window: it moves from one room to another and is ready to use with no building work. The floor-standing models are vertical floor units, designed for those who want a fixed solution but without holes in the wall. They are less efficient than a split, but immediate and flexible: see all the portable air conditioners.

Efficiency, energy class and smart functions

Almost all modern air conditioners use an inverter heat pump, so they cool in summer and heat in winter by modulating power instead of switching on and off constantly. Cooling efficiency is shown by the SEER value, heating efficiency by the SCOP: the higher these indices, the lower the consumption. The A+++ class models are the most cost-effective over time. If remote control interests you, consider the smart air conditioners compatible with Alexa and Google Home.

Brands, prices and related solutions

You will find the sector's leading manufacturers with official warranty and spare parts available: Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Hisense, Samsung and LG. Prices start at 99 euros and go up to the highest-performing solutions for every budget. To heat domestic hot water with the same technology too, take a look at the heat pump water heaters, or discover all the current offers.

Frequently asked questions

How many types of air conditioner are there?
The main types are the single split for one room, the multi split for several rooms with one outdoor unit, the cassette and ducted models for false-ceiling installations, and the portable or floor-standing units for those who cannot install an outdoor unit. The choice depends on the number of rooms and the type of installation possible.
What is the difference between single split and multi split?
The single split connects one indoor unit to one outdoor unit and is perfect for a single room. The multi split connects several indoor units to a single outdoor unit, so you can air condition two or more rooms while reducing the footprint on the façade and with just one unit to install outside.
Is a portable air conditioner or a fixed split better?
The portable is the right choice when you cannot install an outdoor unit, because it is ready to use and moves between rooms. A fixed split, single or multi, is more efficient, quieter and heats better in winter, so it is worth it when installation is possible.
When should you choose a cassette or ducted air conditioner?
Cassette and ducted models suit large spaces such as shops, offices and open-plan areas, or when you want a discreet installation in the false ceiling. They need more space and a structured fitting compared with a wall-mounted split, but they distribute air evenly and stay almost invisible.
How many BTU do you need based on the room?
For a well-insulated room up to about 25 m², 9000 BTU is usually enough, from 25 to 35 m² you need 12000 BTU, for larger spaces 18000 BTU and for big floor areas 24000 BTU. Poorly insulated rooms or those very exposed to the sun require more power.
Do air conditioners also heat in winter?
Yes, almost all the models on sale use an inverter heat pump, so they cool in summer and heat in winter efficiently even at low outdoor temperatures, and they can replace or supplement radiators.
