I’m so happy I pulled the trigger and put some heating and cooling inside my garage.
This idea was spawned by a neighboring house.
This place is a few streets over and was a custom build. I would watch the progress each day when I was on my walks. While it’s not exactly palatial this place, it’s not far off. The size isn’t too much but man, it has everything. That includes a four car garage that has it’s own central air conditioning system. I walked over and talked to the HVAC professionals as they were putting it in. The garage had shiny floors and came with all sorts of other amenities and even a separate bath and shower. Apparently, the owner planned to spend a lot of time in his garage. That got me to thinking since I have a work bench in my garage but sort of got forced out of there. We just ended up packing the garage with so much gear and junk. But that new house inspired me to actually utilize the space in my garage. I gave my family fair warning and then I tore through the garage and got rid of all the junk. Then, I spent some time organizing our gear properly and the result was I had plenty of room to do my thing at my work bench. That’s when I decided I’d take it all to the next level and put in a ductless heat pump. Having heating and cooling outside in the garage is just the best and I would highly recommend it to anyone who’s asking.
