Today, ducted split systems, also known as Central Split ACs, are among the most popular heating and cooling appliances for indoor spaces. One of the key reasons for this is the feature of adjustability, letting users switch the ducted splits between cooling and heating modes. However, it's vital to follow certain guidelines when changing these modes to prevent damage to the unit. This blog post is a complete guide on how to set the cooling and heating modes of your ducted split system.
How to Set the Cooling Mode of a Ducted Split
The cooling system of a ducted split is activated in spring and summer via the thermostat. Cooling is achieved through the compressor in the outdoor unit (condenser), along with the refrigeration cycle and refrigerant gas. Here’s how to set it:
• Start by performing annual maintenance: clean the air filters and check the refrigerant gas level. Remove and clean the filters inside the indoor unit.
• Next, have a certified technician check the refrigerant gas level and pressure. If needed, recharge the gas. Then, test the compressor separately to ensure it's working correctly.
• Activate the "Cool" mode on the thermostat and set your desired temperature—ideally between 24 °C and 26 °C for homes in summer. Turn on the ducted split system and enjoy the cool air.

How to Set the Heating Mode of a Ducted Split
Want to keep your home warm and cozy during cold days? By installing a hot water coil in your ducted split system, you can do just that. These coils act like small radiators, warming the air as it passes through. Here are some simple steps to enjoy a comfortable indoor environment:
• Start by servicing the unit. Even if you serviced it at the beginning of summer, do it again before switching to heating mode. Clean the filters and descale the pipes if needed.
• If using a combi boiler, simply activate the heating mode. If using a central boiler room, open the hot water valve to the coils so that warm water can flow into them.
• Bleed the hot water coil to prevent noise during heating operation.
• Finally, activate the "Heat" mode on the thermostat. Start by setting the temperature to 20 °C and increasing it gradually. Avoid setting it to 24 °C all at once, as it may overheat the space.

Ducted Split Adjustment Tips
To adjust the cooling or heating settings of a ducted split system, keep these tips in mind:
1. Always unplug the unit before starting any maintenance to avoid an electric shock.
2. When servicing the system, make sure water doesn’t leak onto sensitive components like the compressor.
3. Ensure all air vents are open or partially open when turning the unit on. This helps air circulate properly and boosts efficiency.
