Installing an HVAC system in a tiny home can be quite challenging.
For starters, tiny houses have limited space, making it hard for you to install a heating and cooling system with ducts. Fortunately, there are other HVAC options for a tiny home designed with smaller ducts. Better yet, you can buy a ductless mini-split air conditioning system to heat and cool your home all year round. The ductless mini-split system’s design allows it to be installed in tiny houses due to its smaller air handling components. This HVAC unit can be attached to your tiny home’s wall or ceiling and linked to an outdoor heat pump. You can install more than one indoor unit, depending on your tiny home’s heating requirements. While the ductless mini-split HVAC system can heat and cool your home effectively, it only works well for a small stationary home. Ordinarily, most tiny houses are built on top of trailers for easier transportation when owners choose to move from one place to another. Mobile homes may not offer safe spots to install outdoor units for ductless mini-split HVAC systems. This only limits the installation of this HVAC system to a tiny stationary home. However, you can consult an HVAC technician or an HVAC professional for HVAC alternatives best suited for a tiny mobile home. You can get a range of heating and cooling products ranging from portable ACs to mobile heaters and humidifiers. An HVAC professional will advise you on what to buy for your tiny home’s heating and cooling needs. You should also consult a few friends on the same. Friends with common interests are most likely to offer solutions to your tiny, mobile heating and cooling situation.
