I live in a generally mild climate. When I was a kid, I lived in a very hot and dry climate. I lived out in the Southwest and the heat was quite brutal at times. Central air conditioning was of the utmost importance to provide my family and I with comfort almost constantly throughout the entire year. When I moved to this much milder climate, I was amazed that some people in my neighborhood didn’t even bother with an air conditioning system! Some of them simply had a couple of window air conditioners. Others literally did not have any central heating and air conditioning at all! They relied on ceiling fans and opening windows. I have to admit that throughout much of the year, you can get away with doing that in this climate. However, I still insisted on purchasing some form of heating and air conditioning for those days, rare though they may be, in which HVAC would be needed. My wife and I ultimately settled on getting a ductless mini-split HVAC system. We did not need to spend exorbitant prices on central HVAC when ductless units did just fine. Our home is relatively small so two ductless units on either side of the house suit us nicely! Ductless units are cheap and simple, though they are quite efficient at cooling small areas very efficiently! They consist of an indoor and an outdoor component and maintenance is pretty easy! I love my ductless units!
