Why You Should Say Farewell to Your Window Unit

Homeowners with window ACs know their units can be annoying. They’re ineffective, unsightly and obnoxious. But many homeowners still believe clunky window units are “good enough.” If you’re still on the fence about upgrading your home comfort system to central air conditioning, here are all the reasons it’s time to make the switch.

They’re Loud

One of the main complaints about window units is that they are just so noisy! Because the entire unit is inside the house, unlike with central air conditioners, it can create tons of noise pollution. Many people with window units in their bedrooms are woken up in the middle of the night or have trouble falling asleep.

While it’s something homeowners can get use to, it isn’t the most pleasant sound. And even if you have learned to tune out your system, your guests haven’t. Your home should be calming, and there is nothing less relaxing than a noisy, obnoxious window unit.

Only Cools One Room

One of the many inconveniences of window units is that each one can only cool one room or area of your home. With central air conditioning, you have total control over your entire home’s comfort from a single thermostat. However, with window units, you have to set each system individually.

Takes Away Value From Your Home

If you are planning to sell your house in the future, then you do not want window units. Not only do they appear unsightly and take away from any view you may have from your window, but they make cooling your home inconvenient. For these reasons, window units are a big point of concern for potential buyers.

If you are the only house in your neighborhood without central air conditioning, you may want to consider upgrading. Especially if you live in a warmer, humid climate, central AC is a must have for potential buyers.

High Maintenance

While all air conditioners require some type of maintenance, window units are notorious for needing care. You need to clean and inspect each unit regularly to make sure they work properly.

When maintenance is ignored, you will start experiencing some very noticeable side effects. They can start dripping water, smelling funky or just not cooling properly at all. While central air conditioning can have its own problems, it is not as prone to issues as window units are.
