Central vs. Ductless A/C: How to Choose Your New Installation
Here on the South Shore, the hot and humid days of summer are approaching fast. If you’re running an outdated air conditioner, now is the time to upgrade to a new, high-efficiency unit. Whether you’re looking to maximize your home comfort, increase your home’s resale value, or simply replace an unreliable air conditioner, Reggie’s Oil has you covered!
Now, let’s take a look at the real difference between central and ductless air conditioning systems.
The Major Differences Between Central & Ductless A/C:
Central air conditioning uses ductwork to disperse cool air evenly throughout your home, while ductless mini-split systems provide even “zoned” cooling by one or more unobtrusive wall-mounted units. Here’s a quick breakdown of the major separating points between central and ductless A/C units:
Benefits of a Central A/C System
- Invisible presence within the home
- Fast and effective distribution of cool air keeps your entire home comfortable
- Whisper-quiet operation
Benefits of a Ductless Mini-Split
- Sleek units mounted on any interior wall
- Zoned cooling saves you energy and money
- Easy installation, no ductwork required
Why You Should Upgrade
If you’re planning to sell your South Shore, MA home, an outdated air conditioning system can make the process more difficult. Buyers are often turned off by the prospect of an immediate HVAC upgrade. Investing in a high-efficiency A/C not only boosts your home’s resale value but also allows you to enjoy greater comfort and savings while you’re still living there. Other benefits include:
- Greater energy efficiency
- Reduced electricity bills
- Compliance with new refrigerant regulations
