In order to have a ducted cooling system, you need to have ductwork in the house.
Ductwork is mostly made of sheet metal that is placed inside the ceilings and walls of your home.
The ductwork is used to deliver both heating and air conditioning to your home. The cooled and heated air travels from your furnace or central air conditioning through the HVAC ductwork and is sent to every room of the house via air vents. Central air conditioning is perfect when you have existing ductwork. Most HVAC technicians will recommend using central air conditioning if you have ductwork in your home and it is in good working condition. This makes the replacement of the air conditioning unit much easier. They simply put the new AC unit outside and make a few connections to the electrical system and the ductwork. If you happen to have high humidity in your area, central air conditioning is the better choice. Central air conditioning is built to remove the humidity from your home. Ductless air conditioning does not have as good of an ability to remove the humidity and you can end up with a warm and sticky home during the summer. If you need more airflow in your home, once again, the central air conditioning unit will offer this to you. Since ductless HVAC is made for individual rooms, the airflow isn’t as strong as with central AC. Air circulation is limited with ductless HVAC and you can have areas of the home where the air becomes stagnant. Your HVAC technician is perfect when needing to make these decisions.
