#1 Heating and Cooling Provides the Ability to Use Your Sunroom Year-Round

The primary advantage of outfitting your sunroom with heating and cooling systems is the ability to extend its usability throughout the seasons. In regions like Hampton Roads, where we experience the full spectrum of weather, having a sunroom without proper climate control can be uncomfortable.

With the addition of a heating and cooling system, your sunroom becomes a space where you and your family can comfortably gather year-round. Many year-round sunrooms feature dedicated HVAC systems, enabling you to regulate the temperature independently from the main living area. In most cases, the most energy-efficient option is to install a ductless mini-split unit.
