• A split HVAC system is an air conditioning system or heating system that has both indoor and outdoor units that are connected with copper tubing.

    Traditionally, the outdoor portion of the unit contains the compressor and condenser, and the indoor portion of the unit contains an evaporator coil and indoor air handling unit that sends the air through the ductwork in your home. These types of HVAC systems are different from HVAC packaged units, where all parts are packaged together in one unit.

    There are many different types of split systems, which can include heat pump systems or air conditioning systems (larger homes might require multiple air conditioners) installed outside your home, paired with either a gas furnace or a fan coil located inside your home.
