If only they weren’t so goddamn noisy.
They're noisy because they are inefficient. But still more efficient than any ceiling fan
I don't know how you measure efficiency but if you measure the amount of energy required for each degree of apparent temperature dropped then a fan is way way more efficient.
efficiently doesn't raise my energy bill :/
It's probably both noisy and inefficient if it's made really cheap, but is that causation true?
Not really comparable since ACs change the air temperature, while fans just move air.
The real reason they are noisy is the only thing between you and the compressor is a sheet of metal.
And so energy inefficient.
Nah the noise is perfect to drown out every single noise in the hallway because the doors aren't soundproof at all.
So true. Hotels, you have one job: provide somewhere for me to sleep. That means make an attempt at soundproofing. Ah well.
