What Is a Central Air Ducted System?

A central system uses a network of ducts to distribute heated or cooled air evenly throughout your entire home. Instead of relying on individual units in each room, a central heat pump or furnace connects to your ductwork and delivers consistent, whole-home comfort from a single source.



It’s one of the most efficient and reliable ways to eliminate temperature swings, improve airflow, and maintain steady comfort year-round.

Why Choose a Central System Over a Mini-Split?

Both systems can provide excellent heating and cooling, but each has unique advantages.

Here’s how central ducted systems compare to mini-splits:

Central System Advantages

  • Even, balanced temperature throughout the entire home
  • Cleaner look — no indoor wall heads or visible indoor units
  • Better for larger or multi-story homes
  • Works seamlessly with IAQ products like PureAir, high-MERV filtration, and whole-home humidity control
  • Uses existing ductwork in many homes to reduce installation cost

Mini-Split Advantages

  • Great for homes without existing ductwork
  • Ideal for additions, basements, or single-room comfort
  • Highly efficient for small homes or open-concept layouts

Not sure which system is right for your home?

Our Home Comfort Advisors are here to help.


We’ll assess your home, listen to your goals, and guide you toward the right solution — whether it’s a central heat pump, a high-efficiency mini-split, or a combination of both.

Got Questions? We Got Answers.

  • Can a central ducted system be installed in my existing home?

    Yes. If you already have ductwork, installation is straightforward. For homes without ducts, we can often design a custom solution or recommend alternatives like ductless mini-splits.

  • How do central ducted systems compare to ductless mini-splits?

    Central ducted systems provide even heating and cooling across the whole home, while ductless mini-splits give you zoned comfort for specific rooms or levels. We install both and can help you choose the best fit for your home.

  • Do central heat pumps work in Nova Scotia winters?

    Absolutely. Modern cold-climate systems are designed for efficiency even in sub-zero conditions, keeping your home warm all winter long.

  • What brands do you install?

    We partner with industry leaders like Lennox, LG, and Kerr to ensure you get reliable, high-performance equipment.
