We're converting our 300 sq ft garage into a family room. Trying to
decide between a running $2,000 worth of duct versus buying a $4,000
ductless mini-split system. My preference is to go duct and tap into
my central air.

Why so much for the ductless? I installed my own 12,000 btu mini-split for
around $650 three years ago. It works perfectly, easily cooling over 600 square
feet.

I bought the unit with all the insulated lines on eBay, there are lots of
vendors. It is pre-charged and set up for easy installation. You say you have
family members in the business, should be a piece of cake. You need a 2" hole
cut in the wall, a dedicated 120 vac circuit and a place ti set the outside
unit. After the electric line is in, it takes only a few hours to install and
set up.
