Installing a Ductless Mini-Split System in Your Garage: Tips from the Horne HVAC Charlotte Family
Hey there! We're the folks at Horne HVAC Charlotte, a family-owned business that loves helping our neighbors stay comfortable all year round. If you're thinking about making your garage more functional and cozy, a ductless mini-split system might be just what you need.
The Installation Process
Getting Started
First things first, we'll come over to check out your garage. Our friendly team will measure the space, check out the insulation, and make sure your electrical setup can handle the new system. This helps us figure out the perfect unit for your garage.Picking the Right System
We offer a range of ductless mini-split systems. For most garages, a single-zone system does the trick. It gives you both heating and cooling, so you’re comfortable no matter the season.Setting Up the Outdoor Unit
We'll find a good spot outside your garage to place the compressor unit. It needs to be somewhere with plenty of airflow and away from things that might block it.Installing the Indoor Unit
The indoor unit will be mounted on your garage wall, usually up high to distribute air evenly. We drill a small hole through the wall for the connecting lines, keeping everything neat and tidy.Connecting Everything
Our team will run the refrigerant lines, electrical wires, and a drain line through the wall. These are all properly insulated and covered to ensure they last.Powering Up
We’ll make sure your system has its own electrical circuit, then charge the refrigerant lines and test everything to make sure it’s working perfectly.Final Checks
Before we go, we'll run the system through its paces to make sure it’s all set. We’ll also show you how to use the remote and adjust the settings.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind
