I used to manage some high-rise residential properties where there was central air and heat, but you could only have one system at a time. You would have to pick a point in the Spring to make the call that you are going to switch over for the season from Winter heating to Summer cooling. I would hate this time of year and around October, because you had the opposite problem where you needed to make a decision to switch from central air to central heat for the Winter season. There's always going to be a few unseasonably warm or cold days no matter what time of the year it is, so central HVAC for a whole building could be a pain to manage especially since switching back for an unseasonably cold or hot day was not an option due to the prep work needed for switchovers.
Many hotels and other properties have turned to using packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) units that allow for greater temperature control by the occupant, including heating or cooling, plus don't have the extensive building ductwork requirements of central HVAC.
