✔ Connects several indoor units to one outdoor unit
✔ Great for whole-house climate control
✔ Discreet, with vents in ceilings or walls
✔ Best for larger homes or new builds
✔ More expensive but provides uniform temperature control
✅ Energy efficiency (A+++ rating preferred)
✅ Smart controls for remote operation
✅ Noise levels (aim for under 40dB for bedrooms)
✅ Warranty & servicing options
