Also, not sure how much they cost to maintain and how long they last.  Advice is much appreciated!<\/p>\n<p>For example&#8217;s sake, one apt I&#8217;m particularly interested in is a 725 SF 1 and a half bedroom, which has a Friedrich Smart Center unit in the living room (open plan kitchen\/living room) and another in the bedroom. Living room and bedroom both have large sliding glass doors onto 320 SF terrace. The second &#8220;bedroom&#8221; only has a skylight window and no wall window and no heating\/cooling unit at all. I&#8217;d want to use it as a real bedroom though. This seems like it is probably a deal breaker, since I&#8217;d have to come up with a heating\/cooling solution for this room without making a hole in the wall.<\/p>\n<p>Love the layout, building and the huge terrace, but the HVAC seems like it will add a lot of costs on to the monthly payment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m looking at new development condos which all have electric PTAC A\/C and heating.
