Multi-room comfort.One outdoor system.
A multi-head split system connects several compatible indoor air conditioning units to a single outdoor condenser. It can be a practical option for properties requiring independent temperature control across several rooms without installing multiple outdoor units.
What is a multi-head split system?
Instead of installing a separate outdoor condenser for every indoor air conditioner, a multi-head configuration allows multiple compatible indoor units to connect to one outdoor system. Each indoor unit can generally be controlled independently.
