We are planning to turn our garage into a new master suite

We are planning to turn our two car garage into a new master suite for our bedroom.

We have been thinking about doing this for a couple of years, but you know how it is when you’re a homeowner.

Something or another is always popping up and costing money, and you just never seem to have enough. That’s what keeps happening at our house, but we have finally saved enough money to get the addition put on this fall! I’m very excited about it, but one of the things that we didn’t think about during the planning stages was the fact that the garage isn’t set up to be a living space. In other words, it doesn’t have any ventilation ducts in it and it isn’t set up to have heating or air conditioning in it, either. There’s no way that we can move in there unless our HVAC contractor is able to set it up to have heating and cooling. He told us that since there are no air ducts in the garage, he would have to run new ductwork in there and connect it to our existing HVAC system. He told us that if we don’t want to do it that way, then he would suggest that we purchase something called a ductless mini split A/C unit. With one of these types of HVAC units, you don’t have to have ductwork run at all. I think that actually sounds like our best bet for heating and cooling our new master suite. I can’t wait until the whole thing is finally finished!
