Question: I have a large unattached shed/garage, that I work from for side wood projects. I’m tired of the heat in the summer. It stops me from being out there as much as I want to be. What can I put out there for cooling purposes that will do the trick? I have a decent budget but don’t know where to begin. Any ideas on what to use, and who to get to help? Thank you in advance, for any advice. — Suzanne V. Answer: Suzanne, if your budget allows, I’d recommend hiring a licensed and insured HVAC contractor to install a mini split. Mini splits are wonderful, compact units that allow both heat and cooling, for smaller spaces. Be sure to vet the contractor, ensuring that license and insurance are up to date. He will need to acquire permits for this and be sure to not make final payment until final inspection from building and safety has passed, the unit is functioning completely, and the work area has been cleaned. This would be my highest recommendation; they are wonderful units and highly efficient.
