[News only] Popularity rises due to simplicity 'Window air conditioner' is a nuisance to neighbors?

Recently, due to the heat and tropical nights, window air conditioners that are easy to install are attracting attention.

Controversy continues.

Let's take a look at why.

Recently, an apartment in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, banned the installation of window air conditioners.

This is because it is noisy and emits high-temperature heat from the rear, which can damage neighbors.

In fact, window air conditioners are convenient because they are easy to install and can be installed by consumers themselves. On the other hand, facilities to block hot wind must be installed.

The window air conditioner, which was first introduced in 1968, was rejected because of its relatively poor cooling performance and high noise.

In recent years, convenience has increased and sales have skyrocketed.

The window-type air conditioners, which were at 40,000 units in 2019, surged to 300,000 units last year, and the industry expects sales to reach 500,000 units this year.

However, it is still structurally noisy, and it is not easy to reduce it, so you have to accept the noise.
