Central Air vs Mini Splits

Climate control in homes or workplaces is necessary in many cases, not only for the comfort it provides to the environment in general but also for preserving equipment and furniture.
However, there is often a question of whether to install a central air conditioning system or several mini-split units.
To clarify some doubts on the topic, we have prepared this material summarizing the main advantages and disadvantages of each type of climate control system for different environments. This is because central air and mini-splits are the most common systems for climate control solutions. Take note!
Central Air
Central air conditioning systems use ducts distributed throughout the building to cool the entire space. The ducts are responsible for delivering air to all rooms.
Advantages

  • Provides constant temperature to all rooms
  • Can cool the entire building with a single unit
  • Features air filtration systems to purify air, removing allergens and contaminants
  • Controls humidity levels in rooms
  • Quieter operation, with most units producing little to no noise in the rooms they cool
    Disadvantages
  • Requires ductwork throughout the building
  • May experience air leaks or unwanted air infiltration due to installation defects
  • Typically lacks temperature control for each zone or space
    Mini Splits
    These units are typically used to cool a single room or space.
    Advantages
  • Smaller in size
  • Can install independent mini-splits in each room
  • Can cool only the necessary areas, not the entire building
  • Installation is simpler
  • Does not require structural changes or false ceilings
    Disadvantages
  • If multiple rooms need to be cooled, multiple units must be purchased
  • May disrupt the aesthetics of certain spaces, as part of the unit must necessarily remain inside the room
  • Can generate some noise in the rooms they cool
  • Maintenance involves cleaning multiple units
    In conclusion, both types of units have their pros and cons. Mini-splits may offer more flexibility in control, but consulting a specialist and evaluating the ideal option based on different needs is recommended.
    While mini-splits may be more versatile and manageable, the ideal choice will ultimately depend on the type of building that needs to be climate controlled. A thorough evaluation will also consider long-term costs, among other variables.
