Much thanks to all contributors. My building layout/usage is about 60-70 percent collector car and parts storage, with the other 30-40 percent being used for my work bench and lift. I was planning to mount the single head above the work bench, which is about 10 feet away from the lift. Also...

Just one big air vent/distributor. The model I'm looking at has a 4 vane, power swing vent.

Thanks for all the input. Fast recovery is not necessary. I have 3 ceiling fans installed to help circulate the air which should help even out the temps.

My pole building is 36' x 40', 12 foot ceilings with R19 in walls and R30 blown insulation with 6 mil vapor barrier for ceiling. Two 10' x 10' insulated doors and six double pane windows. I also have insulation under slab. I'm looking at this unit...

Let me restate the issue in even simpler terms so you can understand. 30 seconds into my conversation, MRCOOL spect out a system. I never got the chance to tell them my calcs, nor did they ask. The only information they asked me was the foot print and height of my building, then said I needed...

Sounds to me like you have a problem with comprehension. The reason I initially chose MRCOOL was because they are one of a few companies that have a complete DIY system. Having fun with DIY projects is a passion of mine. Wasting time convincing you otherwise is not.

AGAIN - HE TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO PURCHASE TWO 24K UNITS WITHOUT EVEN ASKING FOR ANY DETAILS OF MY BUILDING. I DID NOT ASK MRCOOL TO PERFORM ANY LOAD CALCULATIONS NOR DID THEY ASK ME AND IF I HAD ANY. THE FACT THAT THEY TOLD ME TO BUY SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT WITHOUT ANY KNOWLEDGE OF MY BUILDING...

That was an amazing response to a point that was never brought up. Look at my original post. The HVAC Technician at MRCOOL said I needed to buy specific equipment for my building without knowing any of the building details. That's the point of my OP. He couldn't give a ****, i.e. lousy...

Birdman, sent you a PM twice but didn't go through. Maybe monitors are blocking? Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Please PM me if you can.

Sleek, Good to know. I think the higher end models are more efficient at colder temperatures. I'm okay with supplementing with a space heater on real cold days. My 36 x 40 is all open, single space. I'm wondering now if just one cooling/heating unit will cover the entire area.

I have a 36 x 40 x 12 pole building and I'm looking for a contractor who can install a liner on my walls and ceiling. Does anyone know of a company out my way? Thanks.

Customer Service is the BEST reason to look for another product.

I Live in NW New Jersey. I actually did a load calculation using anon-line calculator and came up with 22.9K heating and 7.8 cooling. My inquiry to MRCOOL was to confirm my findings, and to properly size the unit given the huge loading difference between heating and cooling.

AC is great, but I also really need to heat the space. Just good enough to turn wrenches in the winter, maybe 65 or so. Can someone recommend a unit that is good for producing heat?

Starting my search for a mini split AC/Heat Pump for my pole building. I'm a DIY guy so I liked MRCOOLS approach - provide a complete DIY mini split system without the need for a HVAC guy to charge the lines later. So I called them to ask what size unit they would recommend. I spoke with...

I never mentioned man cave but it was obvious when he came to look at the building and saw all of my collector cars. Can't hide that.

Skippy, I called these guys and arranged for a site visit to give me a quote. Let's see what they come up with. Thanks for the tip:thumbup:

That's why I'm asking here on the board. The PPB guy said 1 day's work. $10K plus another $2K for poly seems high especially having paid just a couple grand more for the entire building. If the materials are $3,000, then that's $7,000 for a day for a 3-man crew. I'm sure they don't make $290...

I currently have no insulation in the ceiling, just a 1/2 inch sheet of insulation board between the rafters and the roof.

Insulation is already installed. This is going to be a man cave so bare metal covered with yellow foam is not an option.
