help me select a custom heat and air system
Need help!! I'm looking for advise on finding a heat and air system for a small homebuilt audio recording studio.
Here's the deal. Myself and a friend are using a 2 door garage.
we are building 2 rooms inside this garage, room #1 is 7'x15', room #2 is 16x22'. the rooms will be very well insulated and every crack will be filled for sound isolation.
I guess its safe to say that I "don't" need the standard heat and air unit for a 1200 sq ft home. so what are some options?????????
anybody!!
Thanks

Heat A/C
Go to www.warmair.net This well compare fuel cost for you.
Get 3 bids for the job.Have them run a heat loss and A/C load An as far as sound goes you want 80" per ton in the duct work and build a sound trap at any outlets. All duct work out of fiberglass duct board .Dont let them forget the equipment load you will have there.

Thanks for the replies. I did look into the mini splits, the install would be easy but the noise would be a factor. the most silent one advertised still gives off 30db of sound.
I guess I will look into the small moble home systems, thats all I can think of. anyway thanks for the help.

Trane has a 1 1/2 ton unit That would work here for you .It sure would make a lot less noise than the moble home one. they have better blower's on them. Have used them in radio station's ED

Thanks ED, I will check into it. my budget is small so I might have to find a used system. wood prices have really put a clamp on some of my plans for this studio. when I started building OSB plywood was $5.25 a sheet. now its $16.00. so I'm just trying to get by.
