Ductless Wayne helps Customer convert garage to conditioned storage for clothes

A homeowner in Houston, TX asked Ductless Wayne to condition an older attached garage so he could convert the space into a place to store his wife’s clothes. The garage was serviceable but not recently updated, and the customer wanted a reliable way to keep the area comfortable and dry before adding clothing storage.

Before recommending equipment, our team evaluated how well the garage was insulated and considered Houston’s high humidity. Those two factors guided the equipment choice, since keeping moisture levels low is just as important as controlling temperature for stored clothing.

For this project we selected a Mitsubishi 20+ SEER2 unit operating in Heat Mode, a Wall Mount ductless system well suited to garages and small converted spaces. That model also includes a Dry Mode, which made it a strong match for this homeowner’s needs because it helps manage humidity without overcooling the room.

We installed the ductless system to provide efficient heating and cooling while giving the customer a way to reduce moisture on a regular basis. The Dry Mode is programmed to run for a few hours each day, keeping humidity in control so stored clothing stays fresh and less prone to mildew or musty odors.

Because we took the existing insulation into account, the system’s capacity and daily Dry Mode schedule were chosen to work with the space rather than against it. That approach helps the Mitsubishi unit run efficiently while maintaining the indoor conditions desired for garment storage.

The result is a climatized garage that remains usable year-round. The homeowner now has a dedicated, controlled environment for his wife’s clothes, with lower humidity and steady temperature control. This reduces the risk of moisture-related damage and makes the converted space far more comfortable for occasional use or long-term storage.

Ductless Wayne handled the project from assessment through installation, matching a ductless solution to the specific challenges of an older garage and Houston’s humid climate. If you are thinking about transforming a garage, bonus room, or other nontraditional space into a comfortable, climate-controlled area, a ductless mini-split with a Dry Mode can be an effective option.
