So after the first month of running this- keeping the 2400 square foot garage between 62 and 68 depending upon what I was doing there, this adds about $350 a month to my electric bill. Now CT has one of the most expensive electric rates in the country. Right now about $.31 per kw/hr so I a not...

3 degrees here last night garage was set for 62. No issues.

Plus don't forget there is a 30% tax credit on the mini splits provided you get the ones that are efficient enough.

No idea. But I installed them myself and am in $2700 for both. You're pulling over 40 amps on a 10000 watt heater so that's a hell of a lot of power. Plus you'll be $1100 into air conditioners for 36000 btus window units.

I’m in eastern ct. once in a while we will get below zero overnight but usually not more than one or two days per year.

Yeah seems it should be fine. I think heating is more challenging. It was 18 degrees last night. So my temperature differential is 47 degrees keeping the building at 65 which was no problem. Vs. a very hot 95 degree day (which is pretty much as hot as it gets here) where I'm trying keep the...

They are out as far as they go. Seems to be the design on the brackets. I've installed 7 of these in my two houses all of them using wall brackets (usually closer to the ground) and they all are similar. The are actually spaced out a bit more because I used the super strut to hang them.

So I built a 40x60 pole building workshop . 14' ceilings. 2 12x12 R16 garage doors, two entry doors I put those green hinges on the garage doors so they seal pretty tight. (For a garage door) . No windows. Insulation in ceiling is blown in r38 and the wall insulation is r19 covered with 1" iso...

I've been using the prolux. Really good. Love that it's wet/dry. I just need a longer hose to reach all corners of my 40x60 shop.

Heat and AC are in. I'm glad I slightly undersize these units, because one 18,000 BT unit was keeping it at 65° with overnight temperatures in the low 20s. So it looks like my insulation detail worked really well. Plus I have no windows in the building. I also put those green hinges on the...

I went with a prolux I wanted the wet vac feature. Haven’t put it up yet so I can’t review it but it sure looks solid. https://proluxcleaners.com/collections/central-garage-vacs

So this is not getting glued down. It's free floating locked together. The only place I'm gluing it is at the garage doors where the little ramp transition piece is. I started looking for this style because we put it down over a wood floor at work and for 20 years it's held up well. What I...

14' ceiling with 12x12 doors

Just generic high bay led. Got them off Amazon. The cheapest I could find.

So I tell you, I'm pretty handy. I've done light construction and remodeling on all my homes. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC , roofs, you name it. And when I contemplated this in my mind it was going to go much quicker. The size of this didn't really register. At each stage I've been thinking it...

Yeah I like the jack shaft openers. I also Like they have a battery backup. As far as activities go I have a couple old 1952 dodge trucks I work on. Car maintenance, equipment maintenance. Plus of course one corner is going to have a a big couch and big tv!

Now I'm working on the floor. I want to use that solid pvc tile with the hidden seam. We use it at work in an industrial setting and it's super tough. . Stuff you can buy here is like $13 a square foot. So it would have cost like $30k to do the floor. Crazy. So I found it on alibaba and had it...

I then trenched in power, I had about 200 feet to run it .After that interior metal went up and I did the lights and some of the wiring. All the wiring is exterior mount emt conduit.

When I got back I started insulating. R19 in the walls covered with 1 inch foil iso foam with all the seams taped. Purlins went over the foam to attach the interior metal. Garage doors also went in.

I was going on vacation in August so I had to hustle to get the pad prepped. I also put down two inches of foam under the pad and around the perimeter for frost protection. While I didn't do radiant heat I am Heating and air conditioning the building eventually. They poured to pad towards the...
