So the general consensus is a mini split would be cheaper, better and easier on the utility bill?

Anybody else want to weigh in? Does anyone have pics of one of these units installed?

I would need that for sure it gets below zero in the Late winter here often

I do not see the link for a 725$ unit?

a bit off topic, but i was doing some shopping around and i see that some of these units are energy star qualified. has anyone tried to use this for a tax credit? curious if i could catch any greif for it since the garge is detached?

Thanks, I have alot of family in amaraillo. its a small world!

How does that keep up? does it run alot? ive heard some good things about the mini splits. havent heard much about that style

Gas would be a major pain to try and run it our from the house. I have a friend that can help with the install. he mentioned a mini split but told me to ask around and see what other people are doing

Hey Everyone, Checking in here from Sioux City, IA. I heard about this forum over on yellewbullet. I recently started to do a full remodel on my 24x24 garage and im sure i will be needing plenty of pointers and advice. We started out by removing the garage floor last friday and they are here...

I cannot spend a penny over 2k althought i would really like to be more in the 1-1500 range. I am in Iowa so we see all the seasons. i would like to keep it in the mid-high 70s in the summer and get it up to the mid to high 60's in the winter. nothing has been insulated yet. that is this...

Hi guys, im currently remodeling my 24x24 garage. i have to have heat for our winters and would like to have AC for the summer but if the budget gets in the way then the AC will have to wait. I am debating doing a combo unit but they seem rather spendy. i was wondering what you guys have done...

I don't have intentions for a plasma but if I did could I shut off the heat or air unit to be able to run both? Good news then I really didn't want to have to run more than 100amp because then they were going to charge me more monthly just to have the service

We see all the seasons here in Iowa, ill have to get my profile up to date.

I'm running a 220v single phase compressor, a syncrowave 180sd tig and a yet to be purchased heat and ac unit (motel style) among several outlets and lights. I've been told I need more than 100amp service. Does anyone want to weigh in on this for me?

Awesome, thanks for the input!
