I’m going to heat and cool my new 1800sq ft shop with 14 foot sidewalls and spray foam insulation.
I’m on the fence between a DIY mini split and a ducted standard unit, but I’m leaning toward mini split due to cost and self installation.
I’d like to add some air filter capability to it and know that I shouldn’t restrict air flow.
I’m mulling several options over.
1: is a box with a hvac squirrel cage fan pulling air through filters blowing air out the other side, so essentially adding a quasi duct system to it.
2: use the same squirrel cage fan to blow filtered air at the front of indoor split unit, this would allow it to run without restrictions when the extra air flow isn’t running such as low dust times.
3: just vacuum out the split unit filter
