First of all, you have to rerun all (almost all) of the ductwork in the attic. Then you have issues with closing off zones and the back pressure that causes, which can ruin your a/c. I tried doing this with Flair to make it more cost effective, but only 2 or 3 vents could be closed off before Flair kept the others open due to back pressure.
From my research, the best way, when done as a retrojob is the mini split.
Actually.................it works great.
You are wrong about rerunning ductwork.
No issues with back pressure.
Spent less money than a mini split.
& it doesn't look like I'm living in a hotel.
