You can, but central units aren’t great right now. Mini-splits are much better. Price is lower, cheaper to install, regulation between rooms is more even, and you can turn off unused rooms to save energy.
Not sure why the market has moved this way but it is what it is. That unit probably is underspeced
- Mountain_Skies 3y agoMini-splits are functionally excellent but have a difficult time with the Wife Factor. So far most of the decorative "solutions" are rather poor. I'm sure over time, as they become more popular, people will come up with ideas for how to work them into the home's interior design, but for now, many find them too utilitarian in appearance.
