Unhappy with your current home cooling system and considering an upgrade? We hear lots of questions about mini splits versus central AC for North Shore, Massachusetts and Seacoast, New Hampshire homes, such as: are mini splits better than central AC? And what systems qualify for Mass Save® rebates?
It’s smart to invest some time in researching what system would be best to keep your home comfortable. Here are some key points of comparison for these two popular home cooling options:
Comfort
Central AC:
When properly sized and installed, central AC, also known as central air, will manage whole-home heat and humidity throughout the cooling months.
Mini Split:
Mitsubishi Electric Heating & Air Conditioning mini splits can cool, manage humidity, AND heat your home for year-round comfort.
Duct Reliance
Central AC:
Central air conditioning will keep temperatures consistent throughout your home in rooms via your ductwork.
Mini Split:
Mitsubishi Electric ductless systems don’t need ductwork to run and can manage a specific heating and cooling zone in your house so everyone can enjoy their own custom temperature settings.
Winning Efficiency
Central AC:
New central air conditioning systems are much more efficient than their older counterparts, making an upgrade a smart move.
