Oh, you went through the wall and into your laundry room; then out the window. I may try going into the attic, which has a electric exhaust fan.

A little funny sidebar. When I remodeled my shop, my wife went along with everything except a Urinal. Seriously, I have rolling steel cabinets, heat, refrigerator, Stereo, TV, Roku, padded flooring etc; but, no urinal. I haven't told about the A/C yet. I'm thinking this is one of those "Beg Forgiveness instead of asking permission" types of things.

Mike,

I had the same issue but luckily, the unit's hose was long enough IF I put the unit in the corner and next to the wall of the garage/laundry room.  I cut between two wall studs and ran it behind the dryer and up to the window.  It is probably less than 7' total hose length.  Then, I sealed the hole with the tube sticking through it with spray-in foam and everything worked well.  I considered cutting through the brick and making a nice exit but that hurt my brain.  I'm a computer guy not an architect Jim!

Thanks Scott,

One of my obstacles is the garage doesn't have any windows. NewAir told me their exhaust hose is 5.59" in diameter; I need to figure out a way to go through the wall. I'm looking for a dryer type vent to put through the wall.

Pat, Real pattern pilots fly in wind, sissy's fly in Oregon!

Mike,

I did just this for my....we'll call it "man-cave".  It's a 2 car garage and I used a 14,000 BTU portable unit from Lowe's.  The worst part was figuring out how to vent the unit.  After looking at different possibilities, I wound up cutting a hole for the tube and exhausting it out the laundry room window as designed.  It worked perfect and cools down the 22' deep garage  from regular closed garage temperatures in Southeast Texas (read freakin hot and humid) to 75-78 in a few hours.

Holler if you need more info.....

I'm just going to throw this out. Does anybody have experience using a portable (the kind that rolls around) Air Conditioner in their shop? I'm trying to cool down a well insulated two car garage.
