Are Ductless Cooling Systems Right for You?

Monday, March 21st, 2016

Spring is officially here, and while many of us in the Fredericksburg, TX area are still recovering from the winter, now is an excellent time to consider adding a new air conditioner or swapping out an old one whose time has come. Most people tend to think of air conditioners as centralized units, blowing air through a series of ducts to get to the rooms of your home. There is, however, an alternative for those so interested.

Here’s a few tips to determine whether ductless cooling systems are right for you.
