Mini-Split vs Central Air
Ductless mini-splits and central air both cool, but they work differently. The right choice depends on the home and the goals.
How They Differ
- Central air uses ductwork to distribute air from one indoor unit.
- Mini-splits use small indoor units in each zone, with no ducts.
- Mini-splits allow room by room control.
- Central air can be quieter indoors since the fan is in the attic or closet.
How to Choose
Mini-splits suit homes without ducts, additions, or rooms that need separate control. Central air suits homes with existing ductwork. See ductless mini-splits and central air conditioning.
