Six situations

Find the situation that matches your home.

Each one names the system, the capacity range and what it costs you — including the parts that won't suit everyone.

What works

  • Simplest installation — one pipe run, one wall penetration
  • Heats as well as cools, so it covers the shoulder seasons
  • Lowest entry cost of the range at the top efficiency class

What to accept

  • One room only — a second room needs its own outdoor unit
  • Needs clear wall space above head height

Different situation

Renting, or the architecture can't be touched

No drilling, no facade brackets, no landlord conversation. Heat or cool one room with a portable unit that moves with you.

Four indoor formats

The unit follows the room, not the other way round.

Wall-mounted

Wall-mounted

The default. Best price-to-design ratio, quickest install.

Ceiling and floor

Ceiling and floor

Sits low under glazing where there's no wall height to use.

Ducted

Ducted

Hidden in the ceiling void — only the diffuser shows.

Round Way Cassette

Round Way Cassette

Four-way airflow from the ceiling centre. Walls stay empty.

The actual decision

Three comparisons you're really making.

Not split versus multi split. The choices people weigh before they ever open a manufacturer's site.

Portable unit or a fixed split?

Portable

If the home isn't yours to modify
  • No drilling, no facade work, no landlord approval
  • Moves to the next flat with you
  • One room at a time, 1.47–4.1 kW
  • Compressor sits in the room, so you hear it

Fixed split

If you're staying
  • Compressor lives outside — the room stays quiet
  • A+++ inverter operation, down to 1 Hz
  • Heats in winter, so it replaces two appliances
  • Permanent install: wall penetration and a bracket

Both are BAUF ranges. The question is how long the home stays yours, not which unit is better.

Three single splits, or one multi split?

Three single splits

If the rooms were done one at a time
  • Each room gets its full rated capacity, always
  • One failure doesn't affect the other rooms
  • Three outdoor units on the facade, three sets of brackets
  • Can be added room by room as budget allows

One multi split

If you're doing the whole home at once
  • One outdoor unit — Series T+ from 5.27 to 8.8 kW
  • Independent temperature and schedule per room
  • Shared capacity: all rooms at full load reduces per-room output
  • Needs the pipe routes planned before finishes go in

One multi split, or a commercial unit?

Multi split

If you're cooling several rooms
  • Every room has its own temperature, and switches off when nobody's in it
  • One outdoor unit on the facade for up to four rooms
  • Slim indoor units on the wall — a bedroom still looks like a bedroom
  • Heats through the winter, so it replaces two appliances
  • Rooms share one compressor: everything on at once and each room gets less

Commercial unit

If you're cooling one large space
  • Takes on a room a wall unit can't — open plan, shop floor, restaurant
  • Lives in the ceiling: only a grille is visible, the walls stay clear
  • Air comes from above in every direction, so nobody sits in the draught
  • Pumps its condensate away, so it fits where water won't drain by gravity
  • One panel, or the building's own system, runs it — not five remotes
Inside the unit

Six things you can check on the spec sheet.

1 Hz

Inverter control

The compressor holds temperature at very low frequency instead of cycling on and off.

0.3 W

Standby draw

What the unit uses when it's doing nothing at all.

-30%

Energy use

Up to a third less than a non-inverter system of the same output.

Golden Fin

Heat exchanger coating

Anti-corrosion layer on the coil — it matters most on coastal and dusty sites.

Leak alert

Refrigerant detection

A refrigerant leak shows as an error code before it damages the compressor.

Memory

After a power cut

The unit comes back on its previous settings instead of a factory default.

Warranty

Two numbers, both on paper.

5years on the unit

Indoor and outdoor unit, across the air conditioning range.

7years on the inverter compressor

The component that decides how long the system lasts.

Need to heat the whole house?

An air conditioner conditions the air in a room. Whole-home hydronic heating and domestic hot water call for a heat pump — Hamme Hydro All-in-One replaces your boiler, hot water cylinder and air conditioner with a single indoor unit.

Before you ask us.

One outdoor unit instead of three to five, one set of facade brackets, and independent control per room. The trade-off is shared capacity — if every room runs at full load at once, each gets less than its rated output. For a flat where rooms are used at different times, that rarely shows.

Yes — every inverter split in the range heats as well as cools, which is what makes it a year-round system rather than a summer appliance. Heating a whole house plus hot water is a different machine: that's the Hamme heat pump range.

A ceiling void of roughly 25 cm or more, a route for the ducts, and a service hatch for filter access. Below that, a cassette or a wall unit is the realistic option.

A single split in a prepared room is usually a day. A multi split across a flat depends on the pipe routes and whether finishes are already in place — the dealer confirms this on site.

Filters need regular cleaning, and the system benefits from an annual check of refrigerant charge and drainage. The units flag a refrigerant leak as an error code rather than running on quietly damaged.

Five years on the unit and seven on the inverter compressor. Full terms are on the warranty information page.

Yes. Wi-Fi is available on selected models and adds remote control; the unit runs from its own controller regardless.
