        "text": "Heating and cooling can be addressed either by extending the home's central HVAC system or by installing an independent ductless mini-split unit. Extending the existing central system requires verifying that your current unit has adequate tonnage and that ductwork can be routed without compromising airflow in the main home. Installing an independent ductless mini-split system is often the preferred choice. A mini-split allows suite occupants to set their own temperature preferences independently, prevents heating or cooling strain on the main unit, and eliminates long, complex duct runs through existing attic spaces.",
