Yes, it would not only screw up it he sytstem it would shorten its life span. The system is designed for a certain square footage to cool. Making it a bigger square footage would cause it to cycle more often making it work harder. I’ve done exactly what your thinking I ended up using a portable ac the biggest one I could get and it worked it’s ass off.So I've been working on a new grow room for awhile. It's in an upstairs bedroom but I've been thinking about moving it into my garage. I have an attached 2 car and want to section it into rooms. I will use just over half the space. My furnace is there and I wondered if an hvac guy could cool and heat it from the central ac/heat or if that would mess up flow pressures and rates ect or whatever is important to the existing rooms.
The garage has the advantage of having the electricity box right there and water and drainage would be easy. But the temp control seems like more of a problem. It gets into triple digits in summer and sub freezing in winter. My fleeing room is 2400 watts light plus accessories plus mother room.

you could have a guy install a zone damper system and give you another thermostat in the garage.then the 2 areas would call for heating and cooling independent of each other,sometimes at the same time.prob cost about 1k for a single zone system with labor plus maybe some additional costs for some extra ducting in the garage.So I've been working on a new grow room for awhile.

You could also adjust the times of the year when you’re planning your grow. The summers here outside Sacramento are smoking hot, and usually cold, but not exceedingly so in winter. So I grow during the winter, time my lights to be on during night time, then with the exhaust I’m salvaging that drawn off heat into my room to keep it warmer. Adding as necessary with a small convection electric radiator. I do have one tent with clones in veg that I run during the day, so I’ve got lights on all round the clock.Thanks for the input. My garage is well insulated but I think Y'all have convinced me to keep it where it's at.
