These roll on casters (so you can move them room-to-room) and have an exhaust hose that you stick out the window or a vent hole (kinda like a dryer exhaust hose). We got a DeLonghi portable unit for use in NY. Didn't work as well as expected. The exhaust hose gets pretty warm, and ends up heating up the room somewhat, defeating the purpose of the A/C!

You know I have thought about it but figure garage = man space and maybe I just need to sweat a bit in my man space. Heck even yesterday when I was dripping puddles on the floor I just grabbed a cold bottle of Gatoraid from the fridge in the shop, enjoyed the little blast of cool air and went back to melting like Frosty the Snowman :) Suck it up Okie ;) I can't believe Rich hasn't come in here and called you a girl yet!Tony Eeds said:Okie, did you ever think you would consider putting AC in the garage when you were in IL?
Welcome to Texas!! :ohmy:
Uhh.. you need to spend some time in the midwest Tony!Tony Eeds said:We have WAY too much humidity for swamp boxes ...
Sq. Feet X 50 = BTU Size (approx.) based on 8 foot ceilings. 35,000 BTUs in your case.Okiewan said:Thanks. I have no idea when it comes to BTU's vs Sq Feet ... we're talking about Texas size heat too. I do not intend to keep it cool all the time, just on the days I know I'll be out there all the time. Like; a full day coming, turn it on in the morning, out there a couple hours later, shut it down that night.
