Teenagers in a converted garage

If your teenager has claimed the converted garage as their own hideout, you know that the main AC system barely reaches in there. That room is usually a ductwork orphan, and with the door closed for hours of gaming, studying, or hanging out, it can turn into an oven or an icebox depending on the season.

For this room

Teenagers in a converted garage

A garage conversion is rarely tied into the original duct system at all, which means that room is left to suffer whatever temperature the rest of the house decides to give it. Teenagers also tend to spend long stretches with the door shut, and the extra heat from a gaming console, a TV, a mini fridge, and a laptop adds up fast. That's why a dedicated mini split system makes sense: it gives that room its own climate control without making the rest of the house fight over the thermostat.

With a ductless mini split, your teen can set the temperature exactly where they want it, and you won't have to hear about the thermostat being too cold or too hot ever again. The system is quiet, easy to install, and doesn't require tearing up walls or running ductwork through the garage. It's a simple, flat rate solution: $2,400 for materials and labor, with a $400 materials deposit to hold the install day, and the balance due when the work is finished.

One day every week is our Joker Day, priced lower than the standard rate. The exact price and which day it falls on changes week to week, so you can check our homepage for this week's deal. Our crew is licensed, and we'll come out to confirm the right size for your garage conversion before any work begins. No guesswork, no surprises.

Common questions

What people ask us about this

Will a mini split actually keep up with the heat from my teenager's gaming setup and mini fridge?

Yes. A properly sized mini split handles the extra heat load from electronics and appliances. We use a rule of thumb to estimate the BTU needs, but we always confirm the final size during an on-site visit so the system isn't too small or too big for the garage.

How do I know if my garage conversion is even suitable for a ductless mini split?

Almost any garage conversion works. The system only needs a small hole for the line set, no ductwork required. We'll check the layout, insulation, and window conditions during the site visit to make sure the installation is clean and effective.

How does the Joker Day pricing work? Do I have to be flexible on the day?

The Joker Day is a lower price that rotates each week. You can book that day if it works for you, but you don't have to. The exact Joker price is shown on our homepage. If you prefer a different day, the standard flat rate of $2,400 applies.

What's the deposit and when do I pay the rest?

We ask for a $400 materials deposit to hold your install day. The remaining balance is due when the crew finishes the job. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Can my teenager still use the garage while the mini split is being installed?

The installation usually takes one day. The crew will need access to the garage and the exterior wall for the line set. After that, the room is ready to use with its own dedicated cooling and heating.
