| Air distribution | Even cooling across the room | Limited airflow range |

What to keep in mind before investing in a split AC or a window AC?
Here are the key things to keep in mind before investing in a split AC or a window AC, especially for Indian summers:
- Room size and cooling capacity
- Split AC: Better for larger rooms (above 150 sq. ft.) as they deliver stronger, more uniform cooling.
- Window AC: Works well in smaller rooms (up to 120–150 sq. ft.).
- Installation and space
- Split AC: Needs professional installation and space for both indoor and outdoor units.
- Window AC: Fits directly into a window frame, easier to install, and more portable.
- Energy Efficiency
- Look for star ratings (higher stars = lower electricity bills).
- Split ACs often come with inverter technology, which adjusts cooling based on room temperature and saves power.
- Window ACs are generally less efficient but cheaper upfront.
- Maintenance and durability
- Split AC: Requires regular servicing of both indoor and outdoor units.
- Window AC: Easier to maintain since all components are in one box.
