Mini-Split vs. Central Air: Which Cooling System Is Right for You?

Choosing the right HVAC system can be the key to long-term comfort and energy savings. At Comfort Technical Solutions (CTS), we often help homeowners, contractors, and businesses decide between two popular options: mini-splits and central air systems.

Let’s break down the pros and cons so you can make an informed choice.

• Apartments, condos, and additions

• Homes without existing ductwork
