Has anyone ever used the outside part of a mini split (condenser) inside in a different part of your house?
I am about to add co2 to a 6k room. I want to add a/c as well. I have a new 24000btu mini split sitting here for the last couple years and wondering if I should use the condenser inside in the winter.
I can have someone hook it up however I want, no issues there.
It wont run outside past Oct where I am, its too cold out.
Meaning I would need to set up some kind of positive pressure rig where I run an outside air intake on a thermostat to cool the room, then a passive filtered exhaust back out side (this means cutting to holes in the house). Of course losing a bit of Co2, but im sure it will still help a lot and outweigh the cost of the lost.
OR, I stick in the mini-split, but put the condenser if the other part of my basement and it will take the load off my furnace for the rest of my house. How much does this thing put off? Does it emit any other off gasses that are harmful to my house of myself?
Has anyone done this?
Last thought, this does save on the Co2, but burn more electricity on the A/C. I wonder if its actually cheaper to burn use an intake and burn extra propane, rather then run the a/c?
