I mean, if the AC/heat is currently struggling to keep ya'll comfortable in the main house, an additional 200+ sq ft may make your current unit seem inadequate or even break it if you have to run it longer to keep everything comfortable
Good insulation in the new room will go a long way to help but if the system is already near it's capacity, you'll be buying a new AC at some point in the near to mid-term future too.
