[NSRCA-discussion] Air Conditioned Shop

[Dave Burton]

I did the ductless mini split heat pump in my 24 X 36 garage/shop too. It's
a 21,000 btu unit and works great in summer and winter. Total cost was about
$1,200.00 as I bought it on e-bay and did the installation myself. A hole
the size of a dryer vent in an outside wall and two pipes and a power cord
were all the cutting I had to do. Outside unit mounted on a concrete pad

I put a Ductless Mini Split AC in my garage and it's been awesome. Mine has
a heat pump so it heats in the winter and cools in the summer. It also keeps
the humidity very low.

 

This needs to be installed and can't be rolled around, so if that's OK it is
an excellent solution.

 

Look up "Mini Split Air conditioner" on google. I have a Hitachi unit.

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.
