@Alejandro Ferrer@Alejandro Ferrer, more information needed.

What state is this in? A heating versus a cooling climate might make a difference in the choice.

What kind of unit is it? Is it C or D class or A or B class?

In a heating climate, for a C or D class unit, a wall unit is probably ok but a VENTED wall unit not UNVENTED.

In a heating climate for an A or B class I would have central heat.

In a cooling climate, I might use a wall unit because heat will only be very occasionally used.
