your talking ductless AC?

everyone in asia has them. they are wonderful. my wife aunt as one system split into 4. awesome to cool only the room in use, and not the entire house. i am going to get one.

consumer reports just gave the nod to LG. the downside? i think they are a bit on the noisey side. with central air, the fan is far away, and you cannot hear it. not so with this system. loud. i also think the units need to improve a bit in the looks department. do they have a countersunk system yet? still, i hate melting, and sweating away..i will buy one in the next year or so. prices are coming down.

i did also see a system to retrofit into older homes. it uses ducting, but the ducts are 4" piping. you get a tiny air vent similar to a car in various places of the room. quiet, cheaper to install, and not so obtrusive to a home.
