You can get a couple of free proposals from reputable AC contractors and see what they say. A package unit would be the lowest first cost. For energy efficiency I would recommend using ductless mini-split systems or even VRF mini splits. It’s easier to run pipe than duct. The indoor units (one for each room) can be wall hung, recessed or even recessed in the ceiling. Another option would be floor mounted units. The condensing unit or units could be located out of sight outside. Another benefit of mini-splits is you have individual room control with a thermostat in each room. Get a proposal on both type systems. Daikin or Misubishi Sounds like that would work, but without looking I couldn’t say for sure.

The house is a 3 bedroom 3 level side split stick framed with vaulted ceilings and a 2:12 roof pitch. I am considering a rooftop unit on the lower roof and running ductwork along the ridge beam in both directions. Would this be a cost effective and efficient method of cooling this type of house.
