Nice job. I did this exact same thing about 2 years ago. Best thing I've ever done, really helps in the dead of summer.

One thing I learned, the exhaust hose is right beside the intake. An AC unit can only cool 15 give or take degrees from the air entering the intake. The exhaust hose is constantly hot. Like 90 plus. Insulate the hose. This will remove the hose as a heating source and allow the AC to pull in room temperature..

Thanks for sharing! I’m planing on doing the same think in my garage. Do you know if this work for a 2 car garage? Or would I need 2 units? I also wanted to ask does it require any water drainage system? I didn’t see it in the video so I wanted to make sure I ask. Thanks in advance!

Mine is a 2 car garage and it works just fine with one unit. There is a water collection area in the AC that has to be drained every few months

Have a well insulated 30x40 and a 10000 but portable does a good job here in PA. A window unit is probably more efficient and effective if your using building on a daily basis but for occasional use this is the easiest option.

I have a game room and gym in my 3 car garage. iam wondering if I should get just one of this heaters or a window ac/heater for my fully insulated 3 car garage? If I get just a heater then I have to worry about getting something to cool it in the summer. I just don't know which way will be the way to go, two separate units one for the summer and one for winter or just find a unit that has both in it ac and heating? Garage is about 660sq ft and 8ft ceiling night, fullybinsulated even garage doors. Live in Clovis ca with a climate zone of 9b.

Excellent video. I am thinking of a mini-split for my shop here in Indianapolis. I use baseboard to heat the shop, which is very expensive. So a mini-split hopefully would help on my winter heating, as well as give me cooling. My question is how do I size the unit, and do know anyone locally that can help? My shop is used for some of the CIWW workshops, so I know it would be great to cool it for our members.
