As for size - it is important that it is "right-sized" for your home. A unit too small will run constantly and still won't keep up on hot days. A unit too big will kick in and out frequently.

Some are much quieter than others. If it will be beside your deck you'll probably want a quieter one. Good luck shopping.
Truth. Once you've had central AC you'd have a hard time doing without. It's not that big an investment for the utility and comfort gained. Further, I couldn't agree more that getting professional installation with reputable hardware is the only way to go. This is critical home infrastructure - you don't want it installed by amateurs.
