Life feels like a breeze when summer rolls around. But when temperatures start rising, your air conditioner may not feel the same way. Picking the right air conditioning system for your home is crucial to ensure you and your home can beat the heat.
So what type of air conditioner is best for you? Two of the most common systems are ductless mini-splits and central air conditioning units. While both serve the same purpose of cooling, one may be more energy and cost-efficient than the other, depending on the needs of your home. From installation to repairs, our heating and cooling specialists at Haller will ensure you choose the best air conditioning system for your home in Central and Eastern, PA.
For now, let’s look at the distinguishing features between mini-splits and central air conditioners so you have an understanding of which type may work best for you and your home.
Mini-split air conditioners offer several perks, the major one being that they function without the installation of a complex network of air ducts. Rather, a mini-split system mounts to your wall or ceiling and acts as a cooling conduit between the outside and inside of your home by removing heat from the inside and redistributing it outdoors. Mini-split units can be mounted to multiple areas as long as the refrigerant piping can connect to the outdoor unit.
Aside from knowing how ductless mini-splits work, consider the following to see if a mini-split is the top choice for your home:
Central air works like your respiratory system. It draws cool air in from an outdoor unit, processes it in a central air conditioner and sends it through a network of ducts installed throughout your house. Additionally, it filters warm and dirty air to be redistributed back into your home, cool and clean.
While mini-splits are a great choice, central air conditioning units are optimal if you’re looking to cool your entire house. In addition to being more energy-efficient for whole-home air circulation, central air offers other perks and benefits:
Now that you’re familiar with the pros and cons of mini-split units and central air systems, let’s consider the cost for each type and what can work best for your budget. When you’re considering price, think about the long-term needs of your home. For example, if you own a large house where you’d like to cool all the rooms at once, a central air system will prove more inexpensive and energy-efficient. Central air systems can also add more value to your property if you have plans to sell your home in the future. On the other hand, if you have a smaller ranch-style home where you spend most of your time in one or two rooms, investing in separate mini-split units may be your best option to keep cool. Once you’ve made your selection, you can count on Haller’s HVAC installation services to have your system up and running in no time.
If you’re not keen on spending money on an air conditioning system, there are ways to keep your home cool without A/C while saving on energy and electric bills.
At Haller Enterprises, our goal is to ensure our customers’ homes are as comfortable as possible, whether it’s the middle of summer or the dead of winter. We’ll make sure to keep all your air ducts in a row.

Schedule a free in-home consultation with our experienced Design & Sales team members or a virtual appointment with one of our Remote Assist technicians – they can provide more information on specific units, review a selection with you, and help you decide which unit fits your household needs best. Whether you’re leaning toward central air or a mini-split, we’ve got you covered.
