A simple starting point

Portable or split?

PORTABLE

Best when permanent installation is not practical

The compressor stays in the room and hot air must leave through a suitable window vent. Start with room size, then check noise, rated input, hose reach and the window kit.

SPLIT

Best when quieter, regular cooling matters

Indoor and outdoor equipment is permanently installed. Check permissions, outdoor-unit noise, exact installation scope and appropriately qualified refrigerant work before accepting a quote.
