Split AC vs Window AC,
Which one to choose?
To this day, people reflect on the fact that it is better to buy a split AC or AC window. Yes, frankly, it depends entirely on what you want in your home. While most of us prefer the AC partition as it complements the modern design of our house and absorbs less energy, there are many who still feel strong with the AC window being the best choice. So, what are some things to consider before buying an AC? In this blog, we will guide you in purchasing the right type of AC according to a few factors to get the best out of your AC.
Introduction
Window AC
These are wall-mounted and are ideal for a small room with window space. They are very friendly in the pocket and maintenance costs are also low. They usually come in one unit, with one face inserted inside and the other outside the window.
Split AC
Split ACs are placed on the wall and are used in large rooms as their cooling capacity is quite high. They do not require windows to install and come with a condenser and a compressor. The compressor is placed on the outer unit while the evaporator is placed on the inner chamber to cool the room.
The War: Split vs Window
With a little introduction about both of the ACs above, we will now compare both of these ACs and outline which one would be the best option for those planning to buy it to deal with the hot summer days.
Design
Split AC comes with a variety of colors and patterns that can change the look of your entire room. Window AC, on the other hand, is forced to have a single color usually white.
Regular AC insertion requires professional help and also includes additional installation costs. Also, if you live in an apartment, it is always a good idea to install a disconnected AC and it can't even be portable. Window ACs are easy to install and do not require additional costs. Also, they are portable, making it easier to move from one place to another.
Cooling Power
Split AC tends to be built for larger rooms as it maintains room cooling power faster. Window ACs look compact and better suited for smaller rooms.
Price
A split AC will cost about twice as much as a window AC. For example, an AC divided by 1-1.5 tons will cost you somewhere between 20000-25700INR while a window AC will cost you 18000–29000INR. Therefore, if you buy a small room AC, you should go with the AC window as they do not require additional installation costs. However, to get as much space as the living room, you have to buy a split AC.
Power consumption
Power consumption is highly dependent on the initial measurement. The higher the starting rate, the more efficient your AC is. The 5 Star AC will use less energy, about 10% more than the 4 star AC. There is a 10% difference in energy consumption with one star increase. So, if you are buying a small AC room with standard use, an AC star of 3 ,1.5 tons of window should be your best choice. However, if you are buying AC with a large space that should work for 15 hours a day, hit the AC 5-star divider to save more energy.
Sounds
When it comes to sound, split ACs produce little or no sound and window ACs produce a lot of noise. As the ACs of the window act against the window, they produce sound. So, to find office space or to complement your modern home decor, splitting AC is a good choice.
Maintenance
Window AC is a standard low-voltage electronic repair that is very convenient during service as all items are built together. Split AC on the other hand requires timely maintenance with the help of a specialist or specialist. Also, when it comes to problem solving, AC split is more important than window AC.
The Bottom-line
Yes, both ACs work well when it comes to good user experience. After all, they both have their pros and cons, depending on which one you find in your home. Also, the budget plays an important role here. If you are down on a budget, go to the AC window. However, if you want an AC that will match the modern set of your room, then Split AC should be your choice.
