Duct-Free Systems: Why Homeowners Choose Them
The benefits that matter most in a Montgomery County home:
- Single-zone and multi-zone capability
- Heat and cool models, plus a cooling-only option
- High wall, console, cassette and ducted indoor styles
- Sound levels as low as 16 decibels
- Wireless remote included
Duct-free suits additions, bonus rooms, and any space the ductwork never reached. It is also the fix when one room never matches the rest of the house.
Comfort room by room
The Details
Duct free systems make individual rooms and small spaces more comfortable without running ductwork. Like whole-home systems they carry SEER2 ratings for cooling and HSPF2 for heating, and the DOE North region minimum that covers Missouri is 13.4 SEER2 and 7.5 HSPF2. Efficiency on any indoor unit depends on the outdoor unit it pairs with, which is part of why the match matters. The Carrier indoor lineup covers Infinity, Performance and Comfort high wall units plus console, one-way and standard cassette, floor console and ducted indoor styles.
Good To Know
One outdoor unit can serve a single zone or multiple zones, and most indoor units both heat and cool; a cooling-only high wall unit is available too. Sound levels run as low as 16 decibels, each unit ships with a wireless remote, and 10-year parts limited warranties apply with timely registration. We handle the pairing, the lineset and the install, and we also offer packaged terminal air conditioners (PTAC) for single-room applications.

On a 100° holiday weekend our air conditioner quit. We called Central Heating & Cooling, Montgomery City MO, and they answered, took our name & said they would get to us as soon as they could. That was at 10am on a Sunday morning. At 3:00pm that day Ben B showed up and within 45 minutes we had cool air again! He was FANTASTIC!! He knew what he was doing, did it efficiently and was also very nice and friendly. I don't want my unit to break again but I would certainly like to work with the Company & Ben B again!!!Posted on Google![]()

Dominic did a thorough and professional job in diagnosing and repairing our AC. He even went into the crawl space under the house to make sure no mice had chewed through the wiring. He was very methodical in his approach in diagnosing our problem. He checked out the entire system to make sure we were ready for the summer. We certainly will use Central again should the need arise.Posted on Google![]()

The PVC tubing for the pressure release valve on my hot water heater snapped off. The Central repairman came very quickly and replaced the tubing. Then I remembered the worn out flapper in the toilet tank and he replaced that as well. Very professional and pleasant to work with. Highly recommend.Posted on Google![]()
