I've priced

some of those mini-splits and around here anyways they cost as much if not more usually than just having a central unit installed in your furnace. Of course if you don't have a ducted forced air system you don't have a choice.
Also I noticed Delonghi or someone is making those portable a/c's that vent out the window but with the compressor situated outside as well so they're quiet. Haven't seen any for sale here though.

Central air, IMHO is always the way to go when the heating system is ducted forced warm air.

Just remember that the return(air suction intake) has to be as high as possible, to keep the air that is delivered from the floor from settling back on the floor. [In norhtern climates where the heating need prevails air is delivered form the floor or low on the wall.]

The return functions even better when in the ceiling of the highest point of inhabited space in the house.

When adding a high-wall (large)return, think about opting for one that has an opearble damper to be able to close it in winter so you "default" back to you current air-flow pattern in the heating season.

I personally like the return grilles that have a filter behind them to keep the ductwork before the main furnace filter cleaner!

Interesting that the mini-splits are more money in your market than adding to a forced warm-air system!

Louis-

You have motivated me to act.

I installed the A/C myself, just moments ago.

Quote: I C you're from Long Island. I'm thinking about moving there one day in the Bayport area. I heard it's a nice area but I never been there..

What makes you want to chose Bayport?

Come visit first, B4 uprooting yourself to that extent.

My home is always open to appliance-nuts! "We are family...."
