As the summer heat rolls in, finding the right cooling system for your home becomes essential. Two of the most popular options are Central Air Conditioning and Ductless Mini-Split Systems. Each comes with its own benefits, and the best choice depends on your home’s setup and your cooling needs.
Central air conditioning is perfect for homes with existing ductwork. It cools the entire house evenly through a network of vents and offers quiet, consistent performance. Central AC systems can be controlled with a single thermostat—many of which are now smart-enabled for energy savings and remote access. However, installing central air can be costly if your home doesn’t already have ducts, and poorly maintained ductwork can lead to energy loss.
Ductless AC systems, also known as mini-splits, are ideal for homes without ducts, home additions, or individual rooms that need targeted cooling. These systems are easy to install, highly energy-efficient, and allow you to control the temperature in each room separately. While the initial cost per unit may be higher, ductless systems often result in lower energy bills and more personalized comfort.
When choosing between the two, consider your home’s structure, how many rooms you need to cool, and your energy goals. Both systems can provide reliable, comfortable cooling when installed properly.
