| Mar 9 at 20:06 | comment | added | Ellis Valentiner | @Traveler Thanks, I've actually considered a mini split heat pump but the contractor directed me toward fixing the duct problems. I'm not very confident in my ability to install a mini split on the 2nd floor but the bigger concern would be needing an electrical service upgrade (we have only 100 amp service but the AC unit and EV charger wouldn't leave much room for a mini split). Not saying "no" to a mini split but I'd like to fix the duct issue so we could have proper air flow throughout the house. | |
