When we bought a new house, I was especially gleeful by the backyard shed.
It’s many feet wide and twelve feet long, which is plenty of space for a home gym. It has a brick floor, a window at each end and eight-foot high ceilings. The shed is old, and I needed to make some improvement before setting up my equipment. I tore down the aged pegboard from the walls, installed new insulation and put up drywall. I substituted the old, drafty windows and carefully caulked around them. I spent quite a bit on an Energy Star rated exterior door and weatherstripped. I hoped to make the shed as airnarrow as possible for the sake of heating and cooling. In my local area, the outdoor temperature swings from negative twenty to the high eighties. To appreciate my workout space, I needed to install some category of temperature control unit. I didn’t want to spend a fortune or sacrifice pricey square footage. I needed something compact, affordable and energy efficient that could handle the demands of the square footage. After some research and consulting with a local Heating and A/C corporation, I invested in a ductless heat pump. It’s just perfect for my needs. I can start up the heat pump through an app on my phone shortly before I head out to the shed to exercise. By the time I step through the door, my workout space is perfectly comfortable. Along with heating and cooling, the heat pump also works to circulate and filter the air. It helps to combat the entirely unpleasant stink of sweat and eliminate air contaminants such as dust and pollen.
