Watch out for those new fangled window a/c units — flammable refrigerant - R32
“Flammability: R32 has a lower flammability compared to R22 and R410A, making it a safer option for air conditioning systems.”
“Pressure: R32 operates at a lower pressure compared to R22 and R410A, which can result in smaller and lighter components for air conditioning systems.”
“Compatibility: R32 is compatible with existing air conditioning systems that use R22 and R410A, making it a suitable alternative for retrofitting existing systems. However, it’s important to consider compatibility with the specific system and components before retrofitting to R32.”

I’m just quoting. I have no previous knowledge about the truth of those quotes.
Note that the website is in the EU. I don’t know if R32 is legal for central air use in the USA. I have and use a R32 window unit.
Installed Windmill brand window A/C last year. It is one of the quietest brand available. Doing a bang-up job so far and I rarely have to use central A/C. Was very easy to install, needs 2 people to install unless you are very strong.
