Which Type Of Aircon To Buy
You can either go for a window Aircon or split AC.
1. Window AC - A window aircon as the name suggests is attached to the window with the fan facing inside the room and the condenser facing outside. This is a cheaper option and works well when you just have one room to cool. Off course, the window design of your apartment or house must support this installation

Whereas the fan units are installed inside the rooms of your house. This is must neater installation, but would require some drilling of the walls to place the pipes connecting the condenser and fan units. Split aircon are recommended when you want one condenser to cool more than one room or when your room design does not support installation of window aircon

After you agree to the quotations provided by the representative, the Aircon company will work out the installation date with you. If it is a working day, we recommended working from home or taking the day off as it might take the entire day to finish the installation. Expect your house to get dirty with dusts from the drilling, so ensure to cover you interiors with plastic until the work is done. You would need to do a thorough house cleaning later to remove the dusts.
