UTILITY CONNECTIONS

We began setting up the utility connections last week for power and water.  The existing lines between the shed and main house were re-routed to the Studio's Utility Room.  You can tell by the number of pipes we were trying to prepare for every conceivable situation.

 

We have a power line into the Studio and a power line out to the future garage.  Three water lines into the Studio will accommodate the existing well and future city water.  There's one extra line for a hot tub (fingers crossed??!!) or anything else we might think of in the future.

 

With all that in place, we can set the HVAC pad and disconnect.  We don't want the refrigerant line visible on the side of the house so a small sleeve will be placed below the disconnect.  If all goes well this will be hidden behind the outdoor unit.  Josh and his team at Air Handlers Mechanical Service will install the unit next week.  For this project we are using the Mitsubishi 'Mr. Slim'  high efficiency mini split heat pump.
