When my spouse and I were building our current home, we spent hours meticulously picking out all the details.
- Designing the blueprints was my favorite part, because we had the ability to customize the layout of the home and add and subtract anything we wanted.
One of my requirements for the new house was an office for myself. I didn’t need anything fancy, but I did need the space. There wasn’t a lot of room within the square footage, but our contractor was able to give me a small space that would have been used for storage. The only downside to this idea was that there was no connection to the central HVAC system. I thought the lack of an air vent would be fine because the space was rather small. I assumed that if I left the door open, I’d be able to heat and cool the space perfectly. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. I loved having a designated office space, but I rarely used it because it was always too hot or too cold. I had no idea how not having an air vent would affect the space so much. There was no way to route the central HVAC system to the space without spending thousands of dollars and remodeling the space, so I sought out other options. The best solution for me was a ductless mini split unit because it could heat and cool the space. A ductless mini split unit was perfect for heating and cooling a small space in an efficient way. My only regret is that I didn’t have it installed sooner.
