Mini-split unit

Q: I have a four-car garage where Iโ€™d like to provide a cooling system because I use part of it as a woodworking area. Would it work if I installed one of those mini-split air conditioner units?

A:ย You can do that, but youโ€™ll have to clean the filter out every day after using it for woodworking. Thatโ€™s because mini-split systems donโ€™t pick up the dust and purify the air in the way that conventional air conditioners do. People who have a lot of problems with allergies might also have more difficulty with mini-splits than with a regular air conditioning system.
