Also, I've gotten quite sick at times due to inadequate mini-split evaporation leading to high levels of mold growth (really bad when it gets into the cement walls in South Korea). Google "mini-split ac mold" to see just how bad the problem really is.<br /><br />1. Central Air is for big dwellings and costs more to buy, install, upkeep, and energy use.<br />2. Mini-slpits are quieter and more efficient in smaller places but still rather pricey and need a professional installer. <br />3. Window units are very efficient and cheap in comparison to the other two (come in both 110v and 220v), but they can be noisy if placed close to your sleeping area. They also use up a window that may block your view.John from Daejeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431973044799010218noreply@blogger.com
