The AC needed to be bigger if we were adding the garage

My wife and I wanted to turn the garage into a small apartment.

My mother was coming to live with us, but we once had her to have some space of her own.

She wasn’t particularly happy about the fact that she had to move out of the family home, but she wasn’t capable of taking care of herself any longer. There was a month worth of mail in the mailbox and two weeks of newspapers on the front porch when my wife and I went to visit. My mom looked like she had not eaten in several days. My wife and I knew we had to do something to fix the problem, so we decided to turn the garage into an apartment so mother can live with us. My mom wasn’t thrilled about moving to our home, but she was much more agreeable to the plan after she found out that the garage was going to be a small apartment. My wife and I hired a contractor to complete the work. One of the biggest problems was adding heat and air conditioning to the garage space. The area did not have any duct work. My wife and I discussed the options available with a licensed and Nate certified HVAC contractor. If we were going to duct the existing system to the garage, then we would need to buy a bigger AC unit to handle the extra square footage. The best way to solve the problem was to purchase a mini split ductless HVAC machine. That is exactly the route that we chose for the project.
