On a related note to this, we were shopping for a .5hp a/c earlier this year; i compared the Samsung, Carrier and Panasonic. We got the Panasonic as it still retained steel and plastic partitioning inside versus the others which used mostly styrofoam inside the units.

On the a/c installation location, if its hit by sunlight and air circulation is not too good then it will definitely be subjected to more stress over a well-ventilated and shaded unit.
