I believe some brands of minisplits have charged lines but I’m not positive. The one I installed is a Gree and the charge is in the condenser with valves on each port. I ran the lines, pressurized with nitrogen to leak check, then vacuumed. After confirming it held a vacuum with a micron gauge I...

I just got done installing a 24K Gree mini-split in my 24x24 garage. I had everything in place except the lines then scheduled a company to come hook up the lines & finish it off. They canceled on me so I finished it off. Installed the line set, pressure checked with nitrogen, vacuumed to 372...

Should that be 49248? I found some listed at a wholesale place for $12/ea so I'd like to grab them while I can. Also found 17 new fixtures with Sylvania 277V ballasts for $10/ea I'm trying to grab. Save a few bucks where I can. Thanks for the information!

I have a 4 car garage with 8ft ceilings that measures 50x25 with a dividing wall down the middle (basically two 25x25 garages that are connected. In one half there are 3 rows of four 4' fixtures parallel with the parking spaces and another row of four 4' fixtures along the front. I converted...

No I haven't made a choice yet. Mainly looking at the forced air gas heaters because there is an old one there already so the mount & gas line is in place. Our electric is pretty high...and I'm trying to keep from maxing out my electrical service to the garage. I'll also have an air...

He said that because I mistyped & said I had R29 when it is actually R19. Guess I'm not sure how I could do much better on the walls. It is 2x4 framing so only have that much space to fill. I guess I could do a layer of sheathing but that isn't a huge difference. Where my rafters are open to...

The walls & ceiling have R19 fiberglass insulation. The walls are getting OSB put up instead of Sheetrock. One small north window & one newer steel door both in good shape. South side has an uninsulated 10' garage door that I will either insulate & seal or replace.

I bought a house a few months ago with a 25' by 25' garage with 8' ceilings. According to the BTU calculators I've used online I'd need approx 28,500 BTU's to increase temps 50 degrees. Here in KS we get some weather around 0-10 degrees & quite a bit of wind. Normally I'd keep the garage...

Following for ideas...working on insulating my garage as well.

Following for ideas....

Hopefully this is helpful to the thread & not a hijack...how useful is the wrap/diffuser in a home garage? I've been researching the same thing: Wrapped vs Bare

I'm going to watch this thread...just bought the exact same bulbs....

Got mine ordered....

For suspension pieces & car wheels I usually use Duplicolor spray bedliner in a can. It is textured but stands up to solvents/leaks that will remove standard spray paint & also withstands rocks hitting it to some degree.
