Not sure which one is right for you? We can help with that, too! We’ll lay out the basics on how these systems work, along with their advantages and disadvantages, to help you make an informed decision on which one is right for your home, your needs, and your budget.
Do you have a furnace in your home? If so, you have the ductwork required for central air conditioning. That means that installation of central air conditioning will be less expensive than installing ductless mini-splits. It can also be done in a day. If you choose central air conditioning and require ductwork installation, it could take several days.
With central A/C, you can control your home’s cooling from a single thermostat or zone your cooling with multiple thermostats.
Central air conditioning is often the better choice for larger homes that need more consistent cooling.
As their name implies, you don’t need ductwork to enjoy the comfortable cooling provided by ductless mini-splits.
The lack of ductwork has long been the reason people who live in homes heated with boilers believed their only options for cooling were adding ductwork, which can be expensive and messy, or stick with lackluster window A/C units.
Ductless mini-splits are comprised of two parts: an outdoor condenser and a wall-mounted indoor cooling head. These machines link to one another with the aid of a slim tube that passes through your wall, and multiple heads can be connected to one condenser for added efficiency.
Adding ductless mini-splits to your home provides many advantages, including:
People who have central air conditioning can use ductless mini-splits to reach areas that aren’t served by your home’s ductwork, such as a finished attic or garage workshop.
Ductless mini-splits are also great for outbuildings such as sheds, as well as lakeside vacation homes.
