So I haven't done a thing yet, but looking into it.
As you know I am currently in a small 2 car garage that is a shared space. I am looking to no longer share that space and that is going to take some doing, starting with losing a Crepe Myrtle that is in the way in the back yard for a garden / tool shed.
Anyway my old portable AC is honestly just not up to snuff, never really was. I could get it tolerable in the shop during the summer, but never comfortable. I am planning on finishing the insulation and closing off the ducts the portable used, and closing up that piece of wall between the doors.
That leaves me with the issue of how to heat and air condition the space.
I am considering a ductless mini split heat pump system. I have less than 400sq ft of shop space (396 to be specific), so it doesn't have to be huge. But small mini splits seem pretty rare.
I am looking for ideas on what mini split systems are working well, any advice on doing the install, and how on earth can I hide the exterior unit from the HOA?
If you have a recommendation for a specific unit that would be fantastic as well.
