In our last house, I just sealed off the vents in the basement and let it coast. It was kind of cold in the winter (Kansas) and warm in the summer and I had to use two de-humidifiers.
Now we are starting from scratch and our builder recommended a Mitsubishi compressor with multiple heads. I was kind of jazzed about that. It meant that I could put a head in the basement and my shop would essentially have its own HVAC.
Now the builder isn't so sure about the idea and thinks we might have to have an air handler for the main house. I want to know if I could still have a mini-split driven from the same compressor?
The house is pretty simple. It has one bedroom, one bath a kitchen/living area with vaulted ceiling and a loft. there is a spiral staircase connecting the three floors. The staircase is fully enclosed in the basement (dust) but otherwise open.
