Central AC vs split units for a villa in Jordan

For a new villa, central AC or a VRF system gives hidden units, even cooling and one outdoor area, but it costs more and must be planned before ceilings close. Split units cost least and suit existing homes or a few rooms. Many villas combine both: VRF or ducted units for living areas and splits for service rooms.

When should I decide on the AC system?

At the concrete (structure) stage. That's when sleeves, duct routes and drain lines are left in place; doing it after tiling and paint costs much more.

Which is cheaper to run?

Running cost depends more on insulation, sizing and use than on system type. VRF can save energy in homes where only some zones are used at a time.
