Multiple System air conditioners available

All split systems are quieter, more powerful and energy efficient than window/wall and portable air conditioners. Many split system air conditioners also come with handy built in features such as motion sensors, Wi-Fi and air purifiers or ionisers.

Single vs multi split system air conditioning

Both single and multi split system air conditioners have inside and outside units. A single split system air conditioner has one inside unit, whereas a multi split system can have multiple indoor units all connected to the one outdoor unit. Both single and multi split units are available as heating and cooling, or cooling only air outlet models.

A multi split system generally allows you to have up to five or more separate indoor units for different rooms in your house. The outdoor unit can be wall mounted if you live in a unit or have a multistorey house. Multi split systems are well suited for both residential and commercial use.

Multi split system air conditioning vs ducted air conditioning

If you need air conditioning in more than one room or area of your home but don’t have room to install ducted air conditioning then a multi split system is a great alternative.

Flexibility and convenience

Multi split system air conditioners offer unreal flexibility and convenience allowing you to choose the right indoor unit for each room of your house. You can install a high capacity air conditioner for larger living rooms and smaller, quieter ones for the bedrooms, all powered by the one outside unit. This allows you to control the temperature and environment in your home on room by room basis.

Being able to individually adjust the temperatures in each room you’ll save money and have maximum comfort by heating or cooling individual rooms. You can have up to five separate indoor air outlets all powered by a single outside compressor.

Energy efficiency

Energy saving settings combined with the ability to heat or cool individual rooms helps to reduce power and running costs. Choosing the right indoor air outlet unit to suit each room also ensures that you’re not wasting power. The wrong unit in a room can result in the air not being cooled properly and energy being wasted. A unit that’s too big for a smaller room also uses more power every time you turn it on compared to a smaller unit running for a longer period of time.

By operating multiple indoor air conditioners from the one external air compressor, multi split system air conditioners are among the most energy efficient of all air conditioners. Choose the most energy efficient inside air outlet units for maximum savings on your bill.

Installing a multi split system air conditioner

A multi split system air conditioner needs to be Due to the ozone depleting refrigerant gas used in air multi split system air and other air conditioners need to be professionally installed. Call Driver Renewables to supply and install your air conditioning unit Call 0876396593

Pros of a multi split system air conditioner

There are many great reasons to consider a multi split air conditioner to keep your home cool in summer and warm in winter. These include:

  • energy efficiency
  • multiple indoor air outlets powered by the one outside compressor unit
  • ability to choose the most suitable and energy efficient air outlet unit on a room by room basis
  • adjusting temperatures to suit each room
  • more affordable to purchase and install compared to ducted air conditioning
  • you can add in extra air outlets later on down the track if needed
  • affordable maintenance, service, repairs and replacement of units.

Cons of a multi split system air conditioner

If you’re considering installing multi split system air condition you should also take the following into consideration:

  • Outdoor air unit need to be placed as close as possible to the indoor air outlet.

Multisplit system has a structure similar to the splits, with the difference that a single outdoor unit is connected to several indoor units that can be placed in different rooms. The work of this type of air conditioner can be controlled by pilots – each internal part of the evaporator has a separate remote control. Multisplit’s biggest advantage is, that only one unit is required to support multiple indoor units.

Developed for the Nordic climate

Modern and neutral design

Our systems is specifically designed for the tough Nordic climate making them top energy and efficiency rated. AA 5.5 Performance is the heat pump that delivers plenty of warmth and provides significant cost savings during the whole heating season and when it is coldest outdoors. The heat pump has a high-performance variable-speed compressor and is also equipped with the very latest technology in heat pump field.

AA 5.5 Performance of the ES has a variable speed compressor that automatically adjusts the output when the heat demand changes. Defrosting is done automatically and is upon demand. The energy efficiency is very high a high, just like the cost saving.

Very high Seasonal Efficiencies

Seasonal efficiency belongs to top of the class. The SCOP is a way of showing how effective the heat pump is in heating mode in all over Europe. There are three different climate zones in Europe according to the testing and accordingly three different Seasonal data, so be sure that you check the SCOP to your climate zone.The Nordic countries belong to the cold climate (cold/C), apart from Denmark belonging average climate (average /A).

Large parts of eastern are also in the cold climate zone. Ireland is in the warm climate zone. Seasonal efficiency gives an idea of the heat pump’s efficiency over the entire heating season with varying outdoor temperatures and is an important parameter for the purchase of a heat pump. AA 5.5 Performance has SCOP A of 4.7 and SCOP C 3.7. In practice this means that savings of this heat pump is extremely high, and few if any heat pumps has a shorter payback time

Heat Pumps Installation

Heat Pump installation Kerry, Cork and Limerick

Heat pumps extract the warmth from solar energy which is stored in the ground, water courses and in the air. The systems use electricity to drive a pump which extracts the warmth and upgrades it into useful heat. Fridges are heat pumps and work by the same principal but in reverse, moving heat from inside the fridge to outside, providing cooling for the inside.

There are 3 main options; Air Source Heat Pumps, Ground Source Heat Pumps and Water Source Heat Pumps.

Driver Renewables supply and install heat pump to all business and public sectors.


Air Source Heat Pump
With air source heat pumps a fan draws air in to the unit and this flows over a closed loop of coiled piping circulating a fluid (either a mixture of water and anti-freeze or brine) which extracts the heat from the air. Air to water systems then use the heat to provide for central heating systems. Air to air systems mostly use fans to circulate heat into the property, but don’t produce hot water.

Ground Source Heat Pump
A ground source heat pump extracts heat from the ground by circulating a fluid through a closed loop of underground piping. This fluid absorbs the heat stored in the earth and carries it to the heat pump in the building.

Water Source Heat Pump
Water source heat pumps extract heat from a local water source and usually operate exactly like ground source heat pumps with a fluid pumped around a cyclical “closed” system. However, some systems are “open” and involve water being pumped out of the ground from a borehole and discharged via a heat exchanger to a river or sewer.

Combining Heat Pumps with Solar Energy
Heat pumps, being powered by electricity, are the perfect renewable energy partner for Solar Photovoltaic Panels (a method for generating electric power by using solar cells) as any free energy generated through solar power can be used to heat your home, so with careful use a heat pump and solar PV system in your home could mean an end to heating and electricity bills.

Heat Pump AWH V5+

AWH V5+

All air source heat pumps operate under the same general principles.

However the differences in quality, technology and application vary drastically.

The new AWH V5+ series exhibits a number of cutting edge, technological and practical advances to create a comfortable living environment.

Nordic Style

The AWH V5+ series has been designed to fit in with the aesthetics of the modern home. The V5+ series comes with a grey powder coated metal housing, stainless steel cover and black coated grills and fans. These measures greatly improve the appearance of the unit but also serve to protect the longevity of the unit.

LEN Start Technology

The V5+ series contains our latest LEN technology. This technology allows the unit start the compressor and fan at their lowest setting. This technology prevents surges to the electrical system of the dwelling and reduces the noise of the unit.

DELA Design

The V5+ series represents the latest advancements in heat pump technology.  This series of heat pumps is of split design – DELA. In standard monoblock units the heating water for the dwelling flows through the outdoor unit where it is heated.

With the DELA design the heat generated by the outdoor unit is delivered to the indoor unit in the medium of refrigerant gas 410A. The heat energy in the gas is then transferred to the heating water in the indoor unit. This format greatly increases efficiency, especially in colder weather conditions and deicing cycles.

LÅG – Low Temperature

The efficiencies of heat pumps are maximised at lower temperatures. When they are utilised to generate high temperature the efficiencies drop dramatically especially in colder weather conditions.

This often results in the use of electric heaters and / or increased electrical bills. The V5+ series is a low temperature heat pump with its flow restricted to 48°C. With modern houses utilising underfloor and aluminium radiator heating the preferred flow temperature range is 30 -45°C.

For hot water generation we use the HEMERA hot water unit, which is specifically designed for hot water generation. This maximises the real life efficiency of the system.

AVISA Cycle

Condensation often forms and freezes on the outdoor heat exchanger of a heat pump. This prevents air flow through the exchanger and so must be removed through a cycle known as defrosting.

Traditional defrosting cycles utilise the stored heat within a buffer or electric element to deice the unit steeling heat back from the dwelling and increased electrical consumption.

The V5+ series has a bespoke, proactive defrosting cycle, AVISA. An outdoor sensor on the heat exchanger indicates the beginning of freezing and before excessive ice builds up the AVISA cycle begins.

The AVISA cycle simply diverts hot gas around the heat exchanger, clearing the build up in moments and allowing the unit to revert back to providing heating.

Back Up Heather – Immersion

Immersions are often used to provide high temperature hot water, supplement the heating system and/or during defrosting cycles.

The V5+ series is one of the only heat pumps without an integrated electric heater.

At ES we believe that a truly efficient product, which has been developed to the highest of standards should not require boost or back up from additional heaters.

AWH V5+ Seamless Modulation

The V5+ series heat pump incorporates the latest inverter technology.

This technology allows a heat pump to match its output to suit the requirement of the dwelling.

The inverter technology continuously monitors the heating requirement of the dwelling. As the heat demand increases and decreases, the inverter increases the units output accordingly.

This technology drastically reduces energy consumption and creates an optimum living environment.

AWH V5+ also has Climate Adjustment Technology and works In conjunction with Seamless modulation the V5+ series

AWH V5+ Climate Adjustment technology

This technology works by increasing and decreasing the heat pumps flow temperature according to external temperatures.

The minimum and maximum desired flow temperatures are entered into the unit and the unit will control the flow temperature for the system based upon external, internal and desired temperatures.

Water and Air Heat Pumps

AWH V5+. Air/Water Heat Pump

Air to Water Heat Pumps

Renewable heating and hot water systems have become the norm rather than the exception.

With advances in technology an air source heat pump is possibly the most cost effective solution for any new build dwelling.

How They Work

Air source heat pumps generate heating water under

the same principles as your refrigerator cools its contents.

1. Energy is extracted from air and transferred to refrigerant gas.

2. This preheated gas is then compressed into a high temperature vapour.

3. The vapour is sent to the indoor unit.

4. Its heat is then transferred to the systems heating water.

Efficiency Heat Pumps

The efficiency of a heat pump is rated upon its coefficient of performance – COP. In basic terms this means the amount of electricity required to generate the output.

For instance a unit with a COP of 5, will require 1 kW of electricity with 4 kw from the atmosphere to generate 5 kW of output.
