I was also thinking around the 10 year time frame. Luckily window units are not covered by the SOP in the states I serve. That information in my Agreement and I disclaim them in my reports like so:

"The house air conditioning was partially provided by window air conditioners. In accordance with state Standards of Practice and our contract, these units were not tested and you may wish to do so yourself prior to close of escrow." Yes and you can buy new one ton window unit for about 25% on a split unit. Window unit is cheaper in the long run.. You're talking about window units versus splits, and I'm talking about window units versus PTAC's (motel units). I agree with your particular assessment, however. Yes Sorry Have never inspected Motel units. I guess They are used for heating too, am I correct?They're basically a fancy window shaker, designed in standardized sizes as through wall units. They also incorporate resistance heating elements or they may operate as a heat pump in heating mode. They're mostly only used in hotels, motels, hospitals, nursing homes, high-rise apartment homes, and dormitories. Should I be stating the life expectantcy of these units as being the same as the central units?
