Noise:

Noise is a commonly overlooked factor when considering the purchase of an air conditioner as some are more noisy to run, than others. And depending on your location and neighbour distance, you need to consider this factor.  Also it pays to be aware of the noise policies for your neighbour, you can find this our from your local council or the Environment Protection Authority (EPA).

Installation:  

Will the unit you are considering to purchase require professional installation and what would the cost be. Many sales include this in the cost, but it is important to check this so you are not caught off guard with an unexpected additional charge.
