Yeah, you can hop into your time machine and go back to the 90s when you could get an AC installed for 850quid.

Splits are unreasonably expensive, and since there is now a compressor sitting somewhere outside and a bunch of piping, more stuff to maintain/go wrong. I remember buying my condo and seeing the split and thinking how convenient it is, but little did I realize after ten years the whole thing would need replacing. For what it cost, I could buy a new 5000 BTU unit every year and throw it out and break even after ten years.
