cheaper per sq. foot to run the central air, but if it's just you and you can "survive" in one room of the house, then do the window unit.

it would be cheaper to run the window unit If you want to cool just one room. Make sure that the filter in the front of the unit stays clean or should I said that you have a filter. What is the size of the window unit in BTU's? What is the size of the room you want to cool? Do you have a whole house unit (central air)? What size is that? Size of the home?
Answer these and I can help you more.

See my answer to icejan's question. Zoning a home, by using window units, is normally cheaper then running the central A/C.

Central air. It cools the entire house and keeps it cooler for longer periods of time. Also, no window unit perfectly fits in a window, so that lets the heat in.

Depends on how much area you want to cool. Window as is cheap on and for smaller area like just a bedroom it will be cheap on electricity. If you need to cool the whole house, Central AC will be cheap in long run.

considering the fact which you have the two varieties you ought to use the two. Set the first greater at night and activate the window unit if mandatory. it truly is definitely a sturdy theory to alter the vents counting on which room you're habiting.

a lot depends on the variables. is your house new or old? is your climate hot and damp, like Houston, or hot and dry like tuscon? or is it cool and damp like new york city or chicago?
central air cools the entire house and just by default is more expensive than trying to cool just one room. if you were trying to cool an entire house central is the way to go.

we have had both. found that central air, which will go on and off like heat does was more economical. even more so if you can get the highest eer rating you can afford.
