I have a local HVAC company in email conversation and I'll have them come out after Christmas to give me my options. I am leaning towards the mini split but have one concern and that is the two wall mounted units would mount on the 24 ' wide wall. So that means the heat/air would have to travel the 26 ' depth and I'm not sure how efficient that would be ? But I assume a large ceiling fan could help with that. Thanks for all the feedback I'll end up with something.  |
A package unit is a fully complete unit, evap condenser and circulation in one unit. You run the duct from the unit into the garage and then connect a return back to the unit. ANYONE can install one of these, since it is just duct work, except for the electrical hook up.
Efficiency should be OK, but generally you will only get a single stage unit, SEER usually around 14 with a max of 15-16. Minimum size will be 2 tons.
