I actually had an electrician come run that for me, but they ran a 30 amp line and breaker with a quick disconnect on the wall outside by where I installed mine. He left a 6 foot whip for me to connect it to the unit. I need to get some pictures of my install. It is a little different because...

I put one of the 24k units in my garage and it's worked out really well. I had some concerns initially because it wasn't getting below 73 after running all night. Ultimately I think the problem was that it needed time to get everything cooled off. Once I ran if for a couple days, it was able...

My ceiling is 8 1/2 foot, and I've got 2 9x7 garage doors. It got up over 100 through the weekend, so I think it's pretty good.

So last week after I posted, I turned the unit on from my phone around 1:00 PM. By the time I got home around 6:30, it was already down to about 85 or so which was pretty good. I left it on the rest of the weekend, to see what it would do after it got everything inside the garage cooled down...

That is what I'm going to try next. Also need to talk my wife into leaving her car outside, and not open the garage door. Hopefully that will help get the temp of everything in the garage down as well.

Haven't checked that. Talked to Ingrams support guys, and they again claim that the unit should be more than enough to cool down my space. I've asked them for some troubleshooting advice to verify I have everything correctly set. I'll respond if I get any new info from them.

The compressor is definitely running. I set it to 70, and the lowest it can get to is 73. It has to run constantly to stay there. The sales guy at Ingrams told me the two ton unit would be more than plenty. I'm thinking now that I should have gone bigger.

I just installed the 24k Mr Cool in my garage, ordered it from Ingrams as well. Lowest temp I could get to was 73 when it was about 96 outside. My garage is 25x30 with full insulation, and 2 insulated garage doors. I thought 73 was pretty good for as hot out as it was. It does have to run...

PM sent. Any updates on the shop?

I know it's been a long time since you posted in this thread, but I had a couple questions. I was wondering who you used to build your shop. I am up in Yukon, and am looking at building something similar to what you have. I wanted to see if you were happy with their work/prices, and see if I...

I was thinking about 30x??, tough to tell in the pic. I am going to swing by there, but am probably going to wait until after we close. Found another pic online, looks like he's a truck guy, so we should get along fine!

I am definately going to talk with some neighbors, but we don't close until the end of the month. I have driven around the neighborhood quite a bit, and it doesn't look like anybody has a shop quite as big as what I'm looking to build. This one guy's looks close, but I can't really tell. It...

I appreciate all the advise on the HOA. I think it should be ok, alot of the other houses in the neighborhood have shops already, and I already talked to the president of the association and he seems pretty laid back.

Man, I guess all I needed was a little help from you fellas. I did a couple more searches and came up with a couple that are about right. This guy actually had a build thread on here, but it hasn't been posted in since 2010. Not sure how i missed it. His is actually bigger than what I am...

That is more what I was thinking. Thanks! I had to read this one a couple times, but something like the pic would work great. That would give me room for the lift. My plans were to do the peak on the 30' side. I'm going to read through your post again to wrap my head around it. It would...
