But if you’ve been relying on window ACs for years, you may already know the downsides: noisy operation, limited cooling power, and rising energy bills. While upgrading to a central air conditioning installation in Peachland, BC requires more of an investment, it can actually be the smarter long-term choice—even if you’re on a strict budget.
