re: Split unit AC vs Package unit AC Pros and Cons

I had a package unit in a single story rental home with a crawl space. I did live in it for a couple of years.

Package unit is quieter
No chance of condensation overflowing and
causing a problem
No gas combustion in the home so no chance
of carbon monoxide
Easy/quick to install and easy access to
repair
Less likely to leak freon since it's a
sealed unit from the factory.

The Trane package unit at my rental house unit lasted 22 years. I replaced it with the same. All the other homes I lived in had split units. I preferred the package unit.
