There is a difference
It is unknown to you at; first, there are different AC options. It is not until a technician comes to your house and explains the different systems and what makes them special you are hit with the decision of which one works best with your residence. The main two systems available to most people are the central air and ductless ac system; both hope to achieve the same goal of providing you comfort but go about so in two different ways. It is important to know the difference to make the best-informed decision.
Below we will discuss the central air and the Ductless AC systems and what makes them unique.
What is the Central Air system?
A central air condition system is a unit which comes in either a split unit or a packaged unit. A package unit is when the heat exchanger, compressor, fan, and fan are in one cabinet on the house’s roof or a concrete slab. A spilled unit has both an inside and outside unit, splitting the same items.
The central air system acts more as a whole house experience as it supplies cool air through return ducts and supplies. The cool air makes its way into the house, and as the air begins to warm, it returns through the central air systems ducts and systems to be redistributed as cool air once again.
What is a Ductless system?
A ductless system comes with one outdoor compressor which links to all individual rooms to provide cool air, thanks to smaller units placed in each room. These smaller units have evaporator coils cooled with refrigerants. The coils absorb warm air and transfer it to the outdoor unit, while cool air is returned to the room.
This unit is especially popular among people who do not want a very intrusive installation process. Unlike the central air system, it does not use a duct system, and the temperature in the room is controlled by the user instead of having one temperature universally for each room.
Which is the better option?
As mentioned in the intro, the better option is based on your preference. The central air system provides a whole house experience where each room will have the same temperature, typically leading to lower energy bills; the maintenance required is minimal as the ductless requires monthly cleaning, and it is often referred to as having the cleanest air quality.
While if you look at the ductless system, as mentioned, it comes with a less intrusive installation process, independent room temperatures, minimal noise, and is small and oftentimes unnoticeable.
They both work to accomplish the same goal, but it is up to you to decide which works best for your residence.
