It has been a while since I have posted...
I have a shop in my garage - about half of a three-car garage, also shared with a car and lots and lots of storage.
It isn't that often that I can actually do anything out there- it is way too hot in the summer, and barely bearable in the winter.
The shop is insulated on the walls- the walls shared with the house were already insulated and drywalled in, and I put in comparable insulation before I drywalled in the remainder. The garage doors are also insulated, as much as garage doors can be, at least. The area above the garage is partially insulated.
Has anyone here ever had a mini-split HVAC put in to their multi-purpose garage shop? Wondering how effective it is in the long run. I would only expect to run it when I was planning to be out there.
Also, does anyone have a ballpark as to what this would cost?
Thanks,
