Central A\/C installations can take several days, especially if ductwork needs to be added or modified.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">Which system has a longer lifespan?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Ductless mini-splits generally last 15 to 20 years, whereas central A\/C systems typically have a lifespan of 12 to 15 years.
