I needed a space heater for my office.

When I started working from home, my husband wanted me to have an area that was private, and our kids couldn’t just pop in and out whenever they thought they had a problem. Three years later, the pandemic was over, the kids were back to school, my husband was back to work, but I was still working from home. Without the HVAC running hard all day, my office was cold. Even leaving the door open, wasn’t bringing enough heat into the office. I told my husband I needed a space heater for my office. I had a small air conditioning unit for summer, but I needed something for winter. Without a space heater, my fingers were numb and I was taking my laptop to the kitchen when no one was home. This was a problem because I would turn the television on, be getting up and down for coffee, and playing with the phone. I had to get back into my office where I worked without any interruptions. I called the HVAC company and asked about a small HVAC system for my office. The HVAC technicians came to the house and looked at my area. It was a small apartment in the basement. There was a bathroom, living area where I had my office, and kitchenette with a microwave and coffee maker. I even had an apartment sized fridge with drinks and snacks. He said he could easily install a one unit mini split HVAC system that would heat and cool the entire area. He asked about the bathroom, and I told him my husband installed a small ventilation unit that included heat. The next day, he installed my HVAC system in my office.
