Moving to a new house and so many questions!

[stephen_volker]

Hey guys!

A new job came which is causing me to relocate. I am approaching move-in and have some questions beforehand to hopefully get things organized before I set up my audio rig. The room is about 14'6" by 24' with a drop ceiling. The ceiling is about 7'6". I'm debating on removing the drop ceiling and maybe doing drywall to get some more height. They also don't have HVAC in the basement so I am debating on what type I want to do. All recommendations welcome.

Best regards,
Stephen

Get more height!

Replacing the drop ceiling with drywall will probably give 6".

Congrats on the new job and upcoming move! Sounds like you've got some exciting decisions to make about your new space. Removing the drop ceiling could definitely open up the room and give you more height, but it's worth considering the costs and whether it aligns with your overall vision. As for HVAC, it might be worth exploring different options like ductless mini-split systems or traditional HVAC depending on your budget and heating/cooling needs. Residential real estate management might have some insights into optimizing your new home.
