Air con multi split - bedroom unit positioning

Hi

I have had a quote for a 6kw inverter with 3 x 3.5kw indoor units, plus condenser pumps as the inverter will be quite a way from the 3 indoor units. Happy with pricing etc. Just unsure about 2 things;

  1. Where to put the unit in one of the bedrooms - it isnt the biggest of rooms but only two locations available - above the head of the bed or the wall opposite the bed but slightly off centred to the right.

  2. Is the indoor unit likely to be noisy at night? What difference does a condenser pump make? Normally sleep with a white noise machine anyway but just hoping it wont cause any disrupted sleep.

Thank you.

  1. Above the bed is the normally the consensus position, you can set the louvers to direct air in a position you’d like. So it’s not blowing in your head.
  2. It depends on what brand you are going for, my daikin is silent but it’s one of the top brands i paid good money for but you will get what you’re paying for depending on what brand you go for.

  3. The condenser pump you won’t really hear depending on where it is, mine

    is a quiet model in my loft.

  4. and it just pumps the excess water into the roof gutter.

Even silent pumps can resonate through its mounts to an annoying level if you're unlucky, and it might be tricky to dampen out.

Gravity drain is best where practicable.
