I have central air with a forced air system and have been in homes with mini-splits. My home's temps are consistent— ±.5° —but those with mini-splits I've been around tend to have cool areas, especially when working and anywhere near seating, etc.

I also much prefer the simplicity of one return filter, one unit, one set of controls, etc.

That being said, I don't love forced air heat—I much prefer baseboard or forced hot water for its evenness—but both systems would be air, so I'd still choose the central system.

I've not looked in a while, but I've gotta think the new heat pump furnaces are super efficient?
