A window-type AC is a popular option for most people in Serangoon due to its affordability and cooling efficiency. Before picking up a unit, make sure you have your area all figured out as this type of AC comes in varying features. Things to be considered like the BTU power and its capacity to cool a specified area is very important factor. Also the features that you want and the brand is something to be thought of when purchasing an air cooling system to fit what you expect in a window-type AC. Professional servicing is very important to maintain its cooling capacity and avoid breaking the unit in the long run.
Ductless Split-Type Air Condition: This type of AC is a two-part system. One unit stays on the inside of your space that provides the fan unit to deliver the cooling air and a separate unit houses the compressor which does the cooling work. One advantage is the small alteration of your home walls which only requires boring a small hole to insert the connector of both units. This gives a more energy-efficient feature due to the absence of a duct that usually eats up 30% of the power usage of a cooling system. This should be regularly serviced by professional to ensure its full cooling capacity.
