A. The system tends to have higher maintenance costs because of multiple compressors and fans. Routine service in the occupied space required to change filters and clean coils. The system is only applicable to perimeter zones. Noise levels vary considerably and the system is generally too loud for critical applications. PTAC’s are not as energy efficient as Mini Split Acs. Humidification, when required, must be supplied by a separate system.
