[quote ArtP]I was researching these earlier this Summer and was wondering why the Vertical ones are so much more than a traditional one (about 2 or 3 times more).
Does the cooling unit or compressors have to be horizontal and a certain size or is it just a chance for companies to make extra profits?
BTW, I know U can't just turn a horizontal AC on it's side but when I compared the cheapie bottom of the line AC units to the Vertical ones, the Horizontal cheapie was ONLY 3-4 inches wider than the Vertical but the cheapie was $99 vs $350 for the Vertical...
Why?
Less demand, and because they can.
