A Compatible Match is Essential When Replacing Your Split-System Air Conditioner
Indoor and outdoor components must be well-matched in a split-system air conditioner. The efficiency of the whole system depends on it. Get the facts before replacing part of the system.
Don't cut corners when replacing a split-system air conditioner. The indoor and outdoor components have to be well matched to work efficiently together. If they don't match up, you won't get the comfort you're expecting and the system may break down prematurely.
