from Crawl Space Ninja Show · host Michael Church, Founder of Crawl Space Ninja

Send us Fan MailIs your bonus room over the garage always hot in the summer, even though your air conditioner seems to be working fine? Many homeowners are told to install a ductless mini split, but that may only treat the symptom instead of fixing the real problem. Before you spend thousands of dollars on another HVAC system, it's important to understand why bonus rooms become uncomfortable in the first place.In this video, Michael Church from Crawl Space Ninja explains why knee walls, attic air leaks, poor insulation, leaky ductwork, and attic ventilation problems often cause bonus rooms to overheat. You'll learn when a mini split is a smart solution, when it isn't, and why fixing your attic first can improve comfort, lower energy bills, and help your HVAC system perform the way it was designed.🛠️ PRODUCTS FOR ATTICS:• Spray Foam Kits - https://supply.crawlspaceninja.com/collections/insulation • Attic and crawl space fans - https://supply.crawlspaceninja.com/collections/fans• Attic Hatch cover - https://amzn.to/4nwUMtj• Solar Attic Fan - https://amzn.to/2Le6o4U• Radiant Barrier - https://amzn.to/4ohWfnK• Recessed Light Cover - https://amzn.to/3ft67ch• Flir C2 Thermal Imaging Camera: https://amzn.to/2Wc5CKO• Smoke Pen: https://amzn.to/49bUS69 • Laser Temperature Meter: https://amzn.to/4qT34hZ🆓 FREE Attic Air Seal & Insulate Guide:👉 https://buymeacoffee.com/csninja/e/478323📖 Seal First, Insulate Second: 👉 https://buymeacoffee.com/csninja/e/546355🛒 DIY Store — Professional-Grade Materials:👉 https://supply.crawlspaceninja.com📞 Book a Personal Consultation with Michael:👉 https://buymeacoffee.com/csninja**Disclaimer:** This information is for educational purposes only.
