When my wife moved into our 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house, it was the perfect size for the two of us, and our rottweiler Knuckles.
The house gave us more than enough space to live comfortably, with a guest room so friends and family could visit whenever they wanted, and an office for me to work from home.
However, when we found out that my wife was pregnant, we knew that we would need a room for a nursery. We didn’t want to get rid of our guest room, and I couldn’t get rid of my home office, since I have been working from home ever since the lockdowns began. The solution we found was to turn our garage into a new master bedroom, and convert our old bedroom into the nursery. The renovations were all happening according to plan, the carpet looked beautiful, the walls and installation were all installed, and the new bathroom was spacious and luxurious. The only decision left was how we were going to heat and cool the room. Extending the ductwork would be costly and time consuming, and would put extra strain on our HVAC system. Window units are ugly and inefficient, and we didn’t want to sacrifice our only window. The perfect solution was to install a ductless mini-split. A ductless mini-split is an HVAC solution that can heat and cool a room with the same unit. The installation was quick and painless, as I only had to drill a 3 inch hold for all of the necessary components. If you are making additions to your home, call your local HVAC company to see if a ductless mini-split is right for you!
