The decision between choosing a ductless mini-split and a central air conditioning system can be a difficult one. Before making your choice, make sure you know the differences between the two systems—and the benefits of each.
Benefits of Ductless Mini-Split Air Conditioning
- Compact, ductless design for homes with or without ductwork in place (more convenient for older buildings with thick walls)
- Individual zoning to better control your cooling room by room
- This system can also work in reverse, absorbing heat from the outside air and moving it indoors to heat your home
- Today’s ductless units are often remote-controlled, allowing you to adjust the temperature without having to get up
- Quiet, effective operation for your convenience
- ENERGY STAR® rated models are available
Benefits of Central Air Conditioning
- Complete, even cooling distribution throughout your entire home
- Integrates seamlessly with your heating system’s ductwork
- Compatible with programmable thermostats for maximum control of how much your cooling system operates
- This system is virtually invisible
- ENERGY STAR® rated models are available
Whichever system you choose, remember that a proper installation of any air conditioning system will provide you with the most comfort, energy efficiency, and safety. Consult an air conditioning specialist for even more advice on what may be best for your home comfort.
