It depends on life style choices. Individual AC units allow you to have as many zones as you have units. You could turn off completely when not using an area, or set different temperatures for every unit depending on preferences. Central air is easier to use and you can still get some area tuning by adjusting AC registers (vents). As far as power goes you can just add up the power consumed by individual units and compare against central AC. There is also the installation costs to consider since if you do not now have ducts or undersized ducts, that could be a deciding factor. If ducts are present, but just used for heat, you would have to increase duct size to get best results for AC. Get a free estimate for an AC system and then price individual ACs. Keep in mind that you may have to do some electric work in either case.

Is it cheaper to use room air conditioners or central air conditioning?
Depends on where you live. If you live far enough north, you won't use the a/ c enough for a more efficient central air system to pay off the investment. In general window and casement units are the lowest efficiency, then the split systems, and the central a/c systems are the most efficient. All but the central air let you cool only the rooms you are using, so there is a potential savings if you are only using a few rooms in a large house.
