portable ac vs split
i’m researching different ac options for my hostel room at uni and i wanted to know which option was better. i could get a 0.75-1 ton portable ac which would be easier to move around except they require an exhaust pipe which means it’ll be fitted through the window and i won’t get to open my window without taking the whole setup out. matlab it would be there permanently. however the pro is i wont be paying an extra electricity bill of THAT much compared to installing split. for split i’ll get a 1 ton and it’s definitely more expensive but once i buy it i can use it for the next 4 years comfortably and even after that i can get use out if it. the downside of split is that i’ll have to pay a lot more money since my university charges more per month for a split ac.
also with portable, im not sure about the upkeep and if its worth it in the long run. any advice would be appreciated, thankyou.
