Editorial draft · Contractor review pending
Prepared as educational content for Solana Beach Heating & Air; not attributed to a technician. General information does not replace an equipment-specific professional assessment.
The distribution difference
Central air uses ductwork; ductless systems condition individual zones through indoor units. Both need appropriate sizing and installation.
Where ductless can fit
Additions and homes without existing ducts can be candidates. Multiple zones require thoughtful planning of indoor units and line routes.
Making the choice
Compare your existing ducts, room layout, aesthetics, maintenance, and installation requirements with a contractor.
Useful references
