Other, perhaps obvious, differences as well. The split unit will be
quieter and can be placed where needed as opposed to wherever the window
happens to be. You won't need to remove it in the winter.<br><br>
OTOH, installation will be more expensive.<br><br>
Somewhat (though not exactly) related, see this recent article in GBA:

<i>Window-Mounted Air Conditioners Save Energy<br>
Compared to homes with central air conditioning, homes with window units
have lower cooling costs<br>

Probably not that good a comparison. After forty years, the split system
might still be soldiering on bug very likely to have seen a few window
rattlers come and go. Oh, and you get to open the window too. <br>

</dd></dd></dd></dd></font>
<dd>An intern of mine just wrote this blog post, which concludes that it
makes no sense to use a SEER 26 split AC and you are better off using a
SEER 10 window unit. It would take something like 40 years to pay off the
split AC IF his calcs are correct....<br><br>
