[quote=Anonymous]My house has an addition (build by the prior owner) that is 350 square feet. This portion of the house has its own heat pump -- a 2-ton Carrier system that is now 15 years old. This is a traditional system that works with ducts (as opposed to a ductless mini split). The performance of the system is declining, and the system will need to be replaced sometime soon. To replace this system, I have two quotes of around $14K, which is hard to justify given that this is a small space -- a single room in the house. Reading online, I've learned that a 2-ton system is massive overkill for 350 square feet. A more appropriate size is 1-ton, or even 0.75 tons. However, the smallest standard split systems are typically 1.5 tons. This lives me with the possibility of a ductless mini-split. Curious for your thoughts on this option, or any other options that you think might be worth considering. [/quote]
