My company is generous enough to let me use stuff for personal use, I would get fired if I took their materials and sold them.

Here is the finished product. We have not had super cold weather yet to test it but so far, so good. I went over budget a bit(what project doesn't?), my existing line to the garage was only 3/8(thought is was 1/2") and I felt it needed to be 1/2. I think I had about 125 into 100' of 1/2...

Here is a picture of the almost finished product, I still want a larger line coming off the compressor, it is only 1/2" and has carbon fittings, but it was free. Somehow I ended up running my entire air system in 1" stainless, I did not intend to, with the free materials from work and buying...

I don't know how the math works out between all of there. But a 60k mini says to be good for 2600 ft2. 2.5x what I need. The 50k heater I am buying says it's good for 1667 ft2. I am at 1040 ft2, maybe a bit over kill but fast heat and tall ceilings... Pretty sure the HVAC system I just put...

No arguments there, we insulated very well last winter. I was working on finishing the inside of the garage last winter, using a medium size torpedo heater in -10 weather, I was in a t shirt.

The way my garage is setup, I should need only 5 feet of vent, that's only about 25 bucks plus a cap at 14, elbow at 25 and the roof flashing at 15 bucks. I do have the 240 available in the garage but I planned to use that for the mini. I personally think the natural gas is going to be more...

Already looked, garages are excluded from any rebate program in my area

You are exactly correct, since it is not in the primary living space, none of the rebates apply here unfortunately. This seems to be one of those subjects that I am getting mixed opinions on. It seems that most are saying that these more budget friendly minis like the senville are not going...

That is exactly the scenario that I am thinking, It seems like I am going to need a heating source on top of the mini. I often take time off at the end of the year to burn vacation and I spend most of that time in the garage. Last year we were at -10 for days, days I was home and off of work...

I am in Omaha also, Millard area. Good to see another local on here! I like the mini splits, I want AC also. I have been pretty set on getting a mini up until the last few days. But I keep reading, as stated above that they do not always work well in the extreme cold that we can get. I just...

too much work, too much money and too much space taken. I am not too worried about cold spots like folks are talking about. I just need it to stay warm enough out there that I can be out there not to be freezing my tail off. Whatever unit I choose will be mounted pretty much exactly in the...

Sorry, forgot to mention that I am in nebraska. If I am at the point that I need 2 seperate good quality mini splits. I am gonna just shoot for the natural gas heater. 400 vs 4000+, it would take a long time to justify that cost

Quick background, I recently more than doubled the size of my garage. I went from a 20 wide, 24 deep to 52 deep and the ceilings are 11'-2 to 11'6 depending on how close you are to the door. The entire garage in insulated. I have been using a natural gas wall heater in the past before the...

If those prices are legit, they are far cheaper than anywhere. I bought what appears to be a very similar lift pre-covid for around 2100 dollars, 2 years later they were around 4000 during the supply chain issues. They work great, I use mine mostly just for storing another car and it does...

A fan is certainly a option and I already have one that I had thought about using for this regardless of the material. I have not shot paint yet, still getting setup. I have though about using a heat exchanger like that, I actually think I have a spare one off a transmission laying around...
