Westwood Plateau's elevation provides slightly cooler summer temperatures than the valley floor, but heat dome events still create uncomfortable conditions. Ductless mini-split systems are the standard cooling solution, and many homeowners combine AC with heat pump heating for full efficiency benefits.

Is a ductless mini-split as effective as central air conditioning?
Yes — in most residential applications, a properly sized ductless mini-split is as effective as or more effective than central AC. Ductless systems deliver conditioned air directly into the space without duct losses. The main tradeoff is an indoor unit visible in the room vs. discreet ceiling or floor registers with central AC.
