We weren’t two weeks into being cooped up inside the central air conditioning of our home before I knew that I needed my own space.
For one, I really didn’t like having to share the air conditioning inside the small home office with my wife.
Much of my work requires a lot concentration and focus. But my wife spends much of her day on the phone talking with clients. Sharing a small space like that can be really challenging. I just couldn’t ever not sort of listen to her conversations which kept me from focusing on my work. But getting a place of my own, where I could actually do some work, was not going to be the easiest thing. Initially, I tried sitting under the HVAC air duct at the kitchen table. But there were constant interruptions given the fact that all of our children were also home schooling online. So there just really wasn’t anywhere inside the central air conditioning of my house that I could go for some privacy. That’s how I ended up with a ductless heat pump in my garage. It was really the only space that was left in my house. So I had the local HVAC company come out and install some residential HVAC. And then I put an office in the corner of my garage. It actually worked out just fine while I was at home during the pandemic. And I love it now as it’s a great spot to be quiet or to go out and do some tinkering. Whatever the activity, I sure do enjoy the quality heating and air provided by the ductless heat pump.
