When should you consider central air conditioning?
Central air conditioning can be a good option for properties with existing ductwork or for projects where several areas need to be conditioned from one system. Before choosing it, consider the property layout, the size of the spaces and the condition of the existing ductwork.
Airflow and return air, required system capacity, electrical service and drainage should also be evaluated. If the property does not have suitable ductwork, installation may require additional modifications or it may be useful to compare the project with alternatives such as mini-split systems.

How much does central air conditioning installation cost?

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between central air conditioning and a mini-split?
A central system normally distributes conditioned air through ductwork to several areas of the property. A mini-split uses individual indoor units and may be more suitable when ductwork is not available or when specific zones need to be conditioned.
Does a home need ductwork for central air conditioning?
Conventional central air conditioning systems use ductwork to distribute air. If the property does not have ducts, it is important to evaluate whether installing them makes sense or whether alternatives such as mini-splits or multi-zone systems would be more appropriate.
When should a central air conditioning system be replaced?
Replacement may be worth evaluating when the system has frequent failures, a significant loss of performance, or components that require repeated repairs. Before replacing it, the equipment and the condition of the ductwork should be properly evaluated.
Does ductwork affect central air conditioning performance?
Yes. Leaks, obstructions, or improperly sized ductwork can reduce airflow and affect system performance. The condition of the ductwork is therefore an important part of evaluating a central air conditioning system.
