Split System Placement for North-Facing Living Rooms in Melbourne

No code fences. Start with TITLE line. Then KEYWORD line. Then BODY: immediately. Need no extra characters like blank? It’s okay.

Need ensure all headings max 6 words. We’ll check:
h2: Why North-Facing Living Rooms Overheat (5? Why=1 North-Facing=1? Hyphen perhaps one; Living=2; Rooms=3; Overheat=4. Fine)
h3: Melbourne’s Summer Sun Path (4)
h3: Glass Load vs Wall Load (5)
h2: Sun-Path Diagrams Before Placement (4? Sun-Path=1? Diagrams=2 Before=3 Placement=4)
h3: Map Winter Versus Summer Angles (5? Map=1 Winter=2 Versus=3 Summer=4 Angles=5)
h3: Identify Afternoon Glare Zones (4)
h2: Where Not to Mount the Unit (6? Where=1 Not=2 to=3 Mount=4 the=5 Unit=6)
h3: Avoid the Glare-Throw Wall (4)
h3: Keep Clear of Window Reflections (5)
h2: Positions That Reduce Glare (4)
h3: East or Internal Wall Bias (5? East=1 or=2 Internal=3 Wall=4 Bias=5)
h3: Corner Placement Near Return Air (5)
h2: Outdoor Unit and Sun Exposure (5)
h3: Shade Without Blocking Airflow (4)
h2: Sizing Still Comes First (4)
h3: Oversizing Wastes Energy (3)
h2: Installation Checks That Prevent Callbacks (5)
Need maybe 1300 words. Let’s write thorough.

Need perhaps include sun-path diagram instructions: draw room plan, mark north, plot summer solstice sun path from east-southeast through north to west-southwest, shade the area inside windows at 3pm-5pm, identify wall where reflected light from indoor unit would fall. Use that to place unit. Good.

Need include practical installation: indoor unit high on wall, louver angles, don’t face sofa, avoid opposite large west/northwest glass; positioning so discharge air does not blow directly on people but still mixes.

Need maybe mention “return air” and not install hidden behind curtains. Could be useful.

Need not duplicate existing sizing article but can state correct capacity is prerequisite, not main focus.

Need word count. I’ll write ~1100 words. Ensure not too short. Body copy 900-1300; headings count maybe not body copy? Usually include all. Aim 1100.

Let’s draft in plain HTML. Use

    only. So no , no . Good. All formatting via theme. Use simple text. No inline style.

    Need include keyword in first paragraph: “north-facing living rooms” maybe exactly. First paragraph strong intro. Example:

    TITLE: Split system placement for Melbourne north-facing living rooms that overheat
    KEYWORD: north-facing living rooms
    BODY:

    Melbourne north-facing living rooms overheat for a reason that has little to do with the split system itself and everything to do with where the unit is mounted. A correctly sized unit installed on the wrong wall can leave the room uncomfortable, force the compressor to run longer, and create an afternoon glare path that makes the main seating area unusable. Sun-path planning before you fix the bracket aims to stop that.

    Need check keyword in first para: “Melbourne north-facing living rooms overheat” Yes contains. Need count across body. We’ll use maybe 6. Need at least one h2/h3. Our h2 “Why North-Facing Living Rooms Overheat” contains variant “North-Facing Living Rooms” but not “north-facing living rooms” exactly? It includes North-Facing Living Rooms Overheat, yes close variant. Good.

    Need maybe use exact keyword later. Ensure at least 4 times. We’ll count manually.

    Let’s compose.

    We need be accurate about Melbourne sun path. Could state:
    – In summer, the sun rises east of northeast? Actually southern hemisphere summer sunrise southeast; but for north-facing windows, not crucial.
    – Key: from about 2pm to 8pm in summer, the sun is in the north-west quarter. A north wall catches low-angle afternoon sun in late spring and summer.
    – In winter, midday sun is low in the north; north-facing rooms warm naturally, which is good. In summer, high sun plus long afternoon exposure through north-west glazing causes overheating.

    Need maybe mention “south-facing indoor walls” in southern hemisphere are shadier, but need not.

    Article angle: avoid afternoon glare from indoor unit. Need elaborate:
    When afternoon sunlight enters through north or northwest glazing, it lands across the room. If the indoor unit is mounted on a wall opposite that low sun path, its white casing can act like a reflector or bright surface, throwing a hard glare band toward the sofa. The louver can also catch direct sun and scatter light. Sun-path diagrams help plot the exact reflection line so you don’t mount the unit on the glare-throw wall. That’s the unique value.

    Need include “shade the unit” maybe:
    “Generic advice says shade the outdoor unit. That matters for condensing efficiency, but it does nothing for a high-wall indoor head that turns into a mirror at 4pm. The fix is placement, not shading.”

    Need include no specific brands/prices.

    Need perhaps mention “multi-head systems” maybe not too much.

    Let’s write full body now. Need ensure no other tags. Use

    maybe for placement checklist.
