When our wife mentioned the system of installing a ductless mini split idea into our basement instead of connecting our existing HVAC duct for central heat & air, I was against it.
The people I was with and I were renovating our basement & finishing it so that both of us could utilize the space as a family & for entertaining.
I actually wanted to continue using our central Heating as well as A/C idea because it would be sleek & minimal. The thought of installing a ductless unit to the wall was distracting to the eye & it would take up space. Ductwork & central Heating as well as A/C was all hidden behind the drywall & the only evidence of an Heating as well as A/C idea were the air vents. My wife was adamant about a ductless mini split idea though because she thought it would heat & cool our basement more efficiently. I knew she was particularly right, although I could not get past the system of having a massive piece of Heating as well as A/C equipment mounted to the wall. My wife would not be deterred, & she came to me with a ductless unit that could be mounted into the ceiling. The entire ductless unit could be installed flush against the ceiling so that there was no extra equipment hanging. The only thing people would see would be the outside of the ductless unit & the air vents that pushed the air out. The ductless unit could even be painted to match the color of the ceiling so that it blended in even more. This was the perfect solution for us!
