Should You Go Ductless With R-32?

“Can I go ductless with R-32? And should I?”
The answer? Yes, you can—and in a lot of cases, you probably should. Let’s talk about what ductless R-32 systems offer, and how they compare to central air setups.

Hey there, Tony here. You’ve probably seen 3-ton R-32 AC units all over the place—and with good reason. They’re powerful, efficient, and versatile. But just because they’re popular doesn’t mean they’re the right size for every home.
If your AC is too small, it’ll run constantly and wear out fast. If it’s too big, it’ll short cycle and mess with your humidity levels. Let’s make sure you’re getting the Goldilocks fit.
DIY vs. Professional Installation for R-32 ACs
Hey folks—Tony here. I know some of you are pretty handy. You’ve installed ceiling fans, swapped out water heaters, maybe even tackled some ductwork. So naturally, when it comes to a new 3-ton R-32 air conditioner, you might be wondering:

Total Cost of Ownership: R-32 Units vs. Traditional ACs
Hey folks—Tony here again. When you’re shopping for a new air conditioner, price tags can be deceiving.
