Installed a mini split!

Still chasing ways to improve efficiency on my garage door short of replacing it. Single pane that’s drafty- plastic seemed to help and the bubble out shows it’s holding air-looks trashy from outside. Next I found these blackout shade that’s reflective on one side, black on other. Easily...

What about line set exit? I was just cut a hole and caulk a notched surface mounting block

Seems to work? Ppl are voting Did you do a block with j channels? I have 2x4 wall so o would have to span 3 studs to get a secure mount.

Ah yea I’ve seen that…I don’t have the skill set to start taking siding down. Does look nice tho

Now I’m kinda entertaining it. Everyone keeps. Talking about noise and vibration issues. I’m also worried about vinyl flex/expansion. Area doesn’t get any sun

Also in MN, I just bought a 24k Senville aura unit for 700sqft garage. Probably oversized for the space, but I was more concerned about heat than cooling. TBD on performance once I get it installed

My concern was how close it would be to the AC unit and air flow. Pic doesn’t do justice but two feet over would just be 🤙 between the two

It does… Senville aura 24k

Not prepared to hang it on the wall, worried about flex and the thing is 135lbs… but I see your point

After the utmost care in measurements making sure I would have the perfect exit point on the exterior wall, I failed to realize I’ll be about 2 feet short on the line set from ideal condenser position. I wanted the IDU to sit fairly center in 3 car garage for optimal air flow, ultimately does...

Attempt to install plastic layer on my single pane windows initially looked good but the weather seal duck tape failed overnight. Didn’t really stick to polystyrene backing. Aluminum foil tape might be better??

Nothing to do with overhangs for me. My garage is sloped so car melt rolls down and meets the garage door bottom seal and anything that creeps under freezes. The bottom seal is also accumulating water somehow and all it drains out the sides when the door goes up- contributing to more ice buildup.

Did you mount yours on the ceiling? How does it look like with line sets exiting? Best option is high on wall like most. Trying to keep lower wall space clear

I feel most I’ve read about have a freeze protection setting at 46deg.

I’m on a mission to seal my overhead door as best I could short of buying new doors before committing to a mini split. R6ish, 2-layer door with single pane top glass living the life in MN. Bottom seal - replaced this summer. Flattens, freezes and sticks to concrete, ice melt draining from...

Yea I’m getting the vibe that mini split may be the way to go. I could get a pioneer 24k unit and do 95% of the install myself. Just hire a random hvac guy to vacuum out the lines.

Yes but don’t have a place to put the unit in “typical” corners that allows for proper venting. Only corner is where my golf sim is in third bay. 🤷‍♂️first world problems

700sqft in MN and pay $0.14/kw

I figured as much, at least placement of the mini split as pictured would blow the warm air at me if I want to bump it higher than likely 46* I’d keep it at.
