The short answer: it depends. Both central and ductless cooling systems have their pros and cons. What works best for one property may fall short of another property’s comfort needs. For example, a central air conditioner works better than a ductless system for larger properties. Meanwhile, ductless systems suit smaller spaces or additions with no duct system but offer significant energy efficiency and quieter operation. Ultimately, it depends on your property, comfort needs, lifestyle, budget, and installation time and complexity, among other things.
