I'm looking to add value to my home by including my day room, which is currently not included in the main square footage, when I sell in six months. An HVAC professional mentioned that installing a mini split would potentially allow me to count this room as part of my home's square footage. Is that true? What are your suggestions for making this happen?

To have your day room counted as part of the square footage, it generally needs to be climate controlled. If you’re considering a mini split, that could definitely qualify it! I self-installed mine a few years back for about $1600, and it worked wonders. Just think about your ROI based on your local market—consider how much the extra square footage could boost your selling price. Of course, get a few quotes to see what you can expect to pay if you're not doing it yourself. That said, if your day room is about 320 square feet, it could really enhance your home's value!
That's good to know! The $2700 quote I got seems reasonable when I think about the increased value I can get from that 320 square feet. So, if I do go ahead with the mini split, it will definitely be counted as part of my home's square footage?
