No need to tie into the rest of the house, since there are units that can be used just to condition (heat and cool) a small space like that.I believe that the electrical wiring can be surface mounted in channels or in conduit or in metal jacketed cable, but those aren't as visually attractive as being behind a wall.You want this to be living space - anything in particular (family room, office, etc)?

You want the one that has a coil of cable and a motor, not the short hand powerd ones.
