Model number: SCM80ZS-W
Indoor noise

What is good

Powerful 8.0 kW condenser drives up to 4 indoor units from one outdoor box
Inverter soft-start keeps inrush current low and efficiency high
R32 refrigerant with lower global warming potential than older R410A systems
Flexible room pairing: mix wall, cassette or ducted indoor heads

What to watch

Price is for the outdoor unit alone, total cost climbs once indoor heads are added
Needs an F-Gas certified installer and long pipe runs for multiple rooms
Large, heavy outdoor unit needs solid wall or ground mounting

Installation & the rules that apply

This is a multi-split. Same F-gas certified-installer requirement and sub-750 GWP refrigerant rule as a single split, applied across a bigger system. Because it touches multiple rooms and routes pipes through the structure, it more often triggers planning or prior-declaration steps, freeholder, landlord or condominium and shared-wall consent, and neighbour distance and noise rules. Heritage and historic-centre restrictions apply to the outdoor unit just as for a single split, but the single shared condenser is often easier to get approved than several separate units.
