> How are split units better than window shakers beside being quiet?
Well, George, ain't that enough?
Back in the day, my apartment in Cairo was cooled by three huge Egyptian-made window ACs, mounted in holes in the wall. The noise of those units was deafening, but I was glad to have them. After the first night or two, I slept like a baby with an Egyptian air conditioner bellowing in my ear. But these days I like it quiet, and our mini-split system is nearly silent. You can be outside next to the outdoor unit and you can't hear it over the traffic on I-75 half a mile away.
The other advantage is efficiency. The better mini-splits have SEER ratings of 20 or more, which is considerably better than most central air systems. I've never seen a SEER rating on a window unit, which leads me to believe they all have lousy efficiencies. Now, for rentals you don't really care what the efficiency is, because you're probably not paying the utility bills. But for my own home, I expect decent efficiency from my HVAC system.

The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
