Which is better spllit or window?

Question

airconditioner efficiency split or window ; please compare

Answer 1

For cheaper installations, window type air conditioner is used, but eventually, users may complain because of unusual noise. Split air conditioners has the same cooling effect given to a room but will be used longer because no unusual may be heatrd by the users.

Answer 2

Split will reduce power consumption but the rated capacities are usually lower. A window AC is power hungry but is usually more robust and it's performance is better.

ACs are usually rated in tons, which is the cooling power of one ton of ice melting in a 24-hour period. The split types are rated 1-3 tons and are more suitable for residential or office use but require extensive piping for condenser units etc. They are however much quieter.

Window types are cheaper to buy, but they are less efficient in utilizing electric power. They however do not require pipings etc and can be fixed in a window or through openings in a wall section.

Efficiency (output/input ratio) would be better in a split system.
