We desperately needed help with indoor comfort for our tiny home, but every quality HVAC we had seen at our local indoor comfort business needed to be cheaper or smaller for our space.
When I went on a business trip, I came across a different type of HVAC installation in the Airbnb I stayed in.
I remember calling our cooling specialist to ask if we could use something similar in our home without looking like an eyesore since the space is small. Unfortunately, the local cooling corporation couldn’t buy it for us, but they offered to send an a/c worker to help us if I bought it elsewhere. I had to confirm that buying it elsewhere would not affect the air conditioner service they offer and the warranty, and they said they would cover it if I bought a unit straight from a manufacturer. That’s how I ended up purchasing the ductless mini-split system with the help of an a/c professional. Then came the installation; I thought it would be easy, but all the suggested places made the house crampy. Having something jutting out of the wall separate from the storage is unsightly for a tiny space. However, I didn’t want to have trouble during the air conditioner tune-up, so I had to give in and let the experts install it wherever they felt it should be. Once it was installed, we installed a shelf and a digital thermostat right next to the unit, which worked for my home’s aesthetics. Hopefully, when I get my own space, I can install the electric heat pump or some other ductless air conditioning system for my house to avoid the ducts that I think are unsightly.
