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.


🌀 Mini-Split Systems: Flexible & Efficient

  • Apartments, condos, and additions

  • Homes without existing ductwork

  • Zoned cooling needs (only cool rooms you use)

Benefits:
✅ Easy installation
✅ Energy-efficient (especially inverter models)
✅ Independent temperature control per room
✅ Quiet operation

🌬️ Central Air Systems: Powerful & Uniform
