Comic and card collectors know the real enemy isn't spilled soda, it's a garage or attic storage room that bakes in August and chills in January. Heat and humidity swings break down paper and ink, even inside long boxes and graded slabs. A ductless mini split keeps that room's air moving and stable, so your books stay the way you put them away.
$400 materials deposit books your day. The balance is due when the work is finished and you're happy with it. Anything outside a standard install is quoted before work begins, never discovered after.
The room matters more than the box. Graded slabs and bagged boards can slow dust and handling damage, but they sit in the same air as everything else. If that air swings between a hot afternoon and a cool night, pages expand, contract, and take on moisture. Putting a mini split in the storage room itself is the most direct way to stop that cycle.
Garage and attic rooms are the worst offenders because they get the widest temperature and humidity swings in the house. A window unit in that setting has to work against the same changing air. Our licensed crew installs ductless mini splits with the line set run cleanly to an exterior wall, so the storage room becomes its own zone instead of borrowing air from the rest of the house.
You don't need a walk in freezer for long term storage. Stable does more than very cold. We size the system using a rule of thumb based on the room, then confirm it with an on-site visit before installation. That way the room gets enough cooling and dehumidifying without paying for capacity you can't feel.
Yes. A garage or attic room swings more than any other part of the house, and those swings are what age paper and ink. A ductless mini split in that room keeps it at a steadier temperature and pulls humidity down during the hottest part of the day. We confirm the right capacity during an on-site visit so it matches your actual room.
No. Stable is more important than very cold. Dramatic swings cause paper to expand and contract, and warm humid air can make boards and slabs feel damp. You want a room that holds a steady, livable temperature, not a freezer.
Our standard installation is $2,400 flat rate for both materials and labor. One day each week is the Joker Day at a lower price, and the day changes each week, so the exact Joker price is posted on the homepage. To book, we take a $400 materials deposit to hold the day, and the remaining balance is due after the work is finished.
Yes. Ductless mini splits are built for spaces like that because they don't need ductwork. The indoor unit mounts on a wall or ceiling and the outdoor condenser sits outside, with a small line set connecting them. We run the install cleanly and make sure the room gets its own zone.
We use a rule of thumb based on room size and the fact that the space is for storage, not open living. Then we confirm that with an on-site visit before installation. We don't promise a specific BTU number over the phone, because the layout, insulation, and sunlight in your actual room all matter.
