I shopped around plus found a few small, ductless mini-split a/c units, but the basement is undoubtedly immense so I may need to buy more than one of them
Converting the basement into a rec room was a wild system I had been kicking around for years. When COVID hit I was homebound for weeks on end, plus decided to put our crazy system into practice. I say it was crazy because I suppose almost nothing about new home renovation. I was a novice, plus our only experience came from watching Youtube videos of people doing their own new home renovations. Since I had the time I wanted to supply it a try. My first issue was with the a/c. I had never spent more than a few hours at a time in the basement, so the lack of a/c vents never occurred to me, but now that I wanted to be down here for long periods of time I would need a climate control plan for it. There is a large, old furnace in the corner of the basement, so there will never be a problem when it comes to heating. The a/c equipment is located upstairs, plus there is no ductwork connecting it to the basement. Thanks to the furnace this area is often undoubtedly muggy plus warm, so if I want to spend any amount of time having fun down here I will need an efficient cooling unit. I shopped around plus found a few small, ductless mini-split a/c units, but the basement is undoubtedly immense so I may need to buy more than one of them. It won’t be cheap, but if I want this rec room to be any good, I will need a/c.
