  1. Great article! Split type AC are definitely one of the best choices for both residential and commercial use. I’ve been using one for over a year now, and the energy efficiency and quiet operation are unbeatable. I also appreciate how the indoor unit blends well with my interior. Just a reminder to anyone getting one—don’t skip on regular maintenance to keep the cooling performance at its best. Thanks for sharing this helpful post!
