        "text": "Homeowners can choose between tying the addition into their current HVAC or adding an independent supplemental system, such as a ductless mini-split. Connecting to existing ductwork creates uniform controls but requires evaluating your furnace and air conditioner capacity to ensure they can handle the added cubic footage. If the existing system lacks sufficient capacity, installing a dedicated zone prevents overworking the main unit and avoids hot or cold spots in the expanded layout.",
