The HVAC professionals added the ductless heat pump to the basement apartment as there was no HVAC air duct down there.
I was so grateful for the thunderbolt of an idea that I had when it came to how we were going to make ends meet when the pandemic was first raging. I was sent home to the central air conditioning of my house to work. And my wife lost her job as a restaurant manager altogether. So with my pay cuts that came with working from home in my own air conditioning and no job for my wife, we lost about half our income. That’s a huge chunk of change to suddenly have to do without. The pay cut was one thing but my wife no long being employed at all was a big hit. And we were worried we wouldn’t even be able to pay our mortgage. But before we spun out and overreacted, a great thought came to my mind. Our house came with a basement that was about half finished. So my wife and I took some of our savings and finished the basement off. This resulted in having an apartment that we could rent out. The cherry on top for that space was the ductless heat pump. The HVAC professionals added the ductless heat pump to the basement apartment as there was no HVAC air duct down there. Besides, I don’t think it would be all that appealing to a renter to have no thermostat of their own. So having the ductless heat pump really did set that space off and made it so absolutely independent from the rest of the house. Being able to rent out that space saved us.
