We have a bit of a weird shaped house. I mean don’t get me wrong. This house is awesome and I’m really lucky to be able to call this place home. At the same time, the shape of our home has led to a heating and cooling problem that took me a while to solve. Our home is one level and sort of sprawling. This was due to the previous owners adding wings onto the main or original part of the house. I love the fact that we have these additions since we have a big family and that helps with space and privacy. Yet, now that I’m working from home full time, I deal with a lack of cooling during much of the year. We live in the south where there really isn’t much need for heating. And what we do need, the heat pump more than takes care of. But my office sits at the end of one of the additions and catches the sun all day while exposed on three sides. We have great heating and cooling equipment so it’s not the HVAC unit. It’s just that my end of the house gets so much hotter during the summer due to constant direct sunlight heating. I kept the shades drawn which helps but until I had the HVAC professionals install a ductless heat pump, I couldn’t get the same level of cooling as the rest of the house. I’m so thankful to the HVAC company for helping solve this problem. It makes working in my home office so incredibly comfortable thanks to the ductless heat pump.
