    Types of reverse cycle air conditioners offered under VEU Program

    Four types of air conditioners are being offered under heating and cooling rebate program:

    1. Single split: It has a single outdoor heat exchanger unit connected to a single indoor unit. These air-conditioning systems are suitable for heating/cooling a single room or space.
    2. Multi-split: These systems have one outdoor heat exchanger unit connected to multiple indoor (which can be multiple floor-standing units and ceiling units) units. Such systems are space and cost-efficient, as it requires only one outdoor unit to heat different kinds of spaces. Moreover, with a multi-split air conditioning system, temperature zones can be created to serve different air-conditioning needs of different spaces within your home.
    3. Ducted: Unlike in multi-split systems where multiple indoor units are visible (on wall/ceiling or floor), in ducted air-conditioning systems, the single indoor fan coil unit is employed. It is not visible as it is installed in the ceiling cavity. The indoor unit delivers heated/cooled air to different rooms/spaces of your home through ducts and ceiling-mounted diffuser. The circulation of air (and its temperature) can be controlled through a wall-mounted zone controller or a phone application. All spaces are air-conditioned uniformly in a ducted AC system.
    4. Ductless: Indoor units are installed in different spaces. Users have the option to set a different temperature set point and the spaces are heated/cooled differently as per the user preferences.
