Future Mini Split?

[mnwebb]

I'm finally getting my garage walls and trusses soon. If I'm pretty sure that I will use a mini-split in the future should I leave an access hole for it before thesiding goes on?

Thx!

I wouldn't worry about an access hole. (I assume you mean for the line sets.) If/when you install the mini-split you'll cut a hole through the wall. The inside unit is mounted over the hole, a line set cover goes over the outside.

I would have your electrician put in a disconnect where the outside unit would be installed.

You should plan on where you want it installed and add some blocking to the walls so it will be easy to mount.
