Without it, your new room聽figures to聽be a lot less聽pleasant聽to聽spend time in聽during聽hot days and nights. There are聽a few聽options to聽think about聽when聽determining聽what kind of air conditioner is聽the best choice聽for your converted garage.

  1. You can connect an existing air duct from your house to the walls of your garage. This聽is only an option聽if the garage and the home are connected and have聽a conveniently accessible聽duct that can be connected to your garage. This is聽definitely聽a job for someone with聽the proper聽knowledge, so consult with聽a technician聽from聽黑料社区to find out if this is聽the right聽option for you.
  2. Install a ductless air conditioner, also known as a聽mini-split system. This type of air conditioner聽runs聽on its own condenser聽situated聽right outside the garage.

A mini-split system is also聽a unique kind聽of聽packaged HVAC system, which聽means you can聽get an air conditioning system that can handle your heating needs in the聽cold months聽as well.
  3. Purchase a window air conditioner. If connecting an existing duct is not聽a choice聽and聽the space isn't very large, this could be a聽good solution. However, there are聽some聽downsides to聽a window AC. It is not the most efficient for evenly distributing air, and is not the most efficient for energy usage. If there is not聽an existing聽window, a window air conditioner will leave a聽large聽hole in your wall that could look inviting to a determined thief.
