Central AC Vs Ductless Mini Splits

[Tim Kaminski]

BP!

Closing on a duplex in a few weeks and have been mulling over the idea of replacing the existing window units with Ductless mini splits.  After doing some research on the forums, seems some ppl still prefer central if there is room for the vents, which I do have. There isn't even any blow in the attic..

Wanted to get some updated opinions from BP on this debate.  The duplex currently rents around $900/per side and is a 2/1 on each side.  Plan on a long term buy and hold.  

Is there one that would put more holes in the walls? Walls are plaster and seem to be a pain to patch.

One that would be better for long term? i.e. less maintenance?

Thanks!!
