When the summer heat hits, ensuring that your home stays cool and comfortable is a top priority. At W.C. Eshenaur & Son, we offer a variety of high-efficiency air conditioning systems to meet your home’s specific needs. From homes with central ductwork to those without.

How to Choose Between Central A/C and Ductless Systems

When deciding between a central air system and a ductless mini-split, the main factor is often the presence of existing ductwork in your home. Central A/C is ideal for homes with ducts and existing heating systems, while ductless mini-split systems provide flexibility and can be added to homes without ducts.

If you’re unsure which system would be best for your home, don’t hesitate to contact our team. Our HVAC professionals will assess your current setup and cooling needs to recommend the most efficient and cost-effective solution. We’re always happy to provide free consultations to help you make an informed decision.

High-Efficiency A/C Equipment That Will Last for Years

The biggest distinction between the two models of Pennsylvania air conditioners is that one requires central ductwork and one doesn’t. Both operate efficiently, provide instant cool air, and work quietly in your home. If your home uses a furnace and air vents to heat, a central unit may be the better choice for your home. If you use a radiant heater, one or more ductless mini-splits could be your best friend.

If you’re on the fence, contact our HVAC installation team for a no-obligation consultation. They’ll be more than happy to speak with you about your home, your cooling goals, and any existing equipment that could make a central A/C or a ductless unit preferable. You can contact us online or by phone anytime.
