We are putting a home gym in the house

We are putting a home gym in our house but the estimate that we got for running ductwork into the room is way too high.

See, we don’t really have the space for a home gym and so we are actually converting the garage into the gym.

Unfortunately for us, the garage is not equipped with a heating and cooling system at all and so we are going to have to do something in order to make it available to us during the heat of the summer and the coldness of the winter. I’m more worried about how cold it gets out there during the winter than I am about how it gets out there during the summer. I mean after all, when you’re working out, you want to sweat. So not having air conditioning really isn’t that big of a deal in my opinion. However around here it gets really cold during the winters and there is no way that I’m going to go out there to work out if it is freezing in the garage. We thought about just putting a little electric space heater out there, but I really don’t think that’s going to do the trick. The insulation in the garage is not really all that great and so that’s another thing that we are going to have to deal with. The HVAC technician that we talked about this project told us that our best bet would probably be to install something called a ductless mini split heating and cooling system. He says that they are really great for heating areas like garages and basements.
