I went a little large for the cooling aspect. Hot and Humid down here in the Summer, nice chilly and dry 70 in the shop in August. :)

I used a air sock in my 60x40x14, 5 ton heatpump with no backup heat. Keeps it plenty warm in the winter in SE virginia.

Yep second the eley stuff. I have the roll around cart, outside year around and it looks and works like brand new. Not cheap but really well made.

Prescription bifocal safety glasses have been a godsend for me. As soon as I walk in the shop I put them on and they stay on the whole time I'm out there. kinda have to so I can see so it forces me to wear them. They weren't very expensive at all.

This. Need to get this stuff agreed to upfront. It's really all about dollars and what the POCO thinks they will earn on their capital investiment. In my case I built a 60x40 shop and wanted 200A service. After providing a load sheet (including 5 tons of HVAC) they were happy to put in a...

I have this one. Decent quality, have used it several times with no issues.

The whole developing a new engine thing to me was a trigger/red flag. There was absolutely no reason to invest the capital for this, much smarter to leverage existing technology giving the limited margins.

Didn't want to post a link to the many stories out there describing Paul Elio and his cronies as scammers, figured folks should make their own minds up about that but rest assured, there will be no Elio and many people will have paid for the BS that they have peddled over the years.

You guys know the whole Elio thing was/is a scam right? They have blown through many millions of dollars paying their own salaries and producing virtually nothing. http://www.autoblog.com/2016/03/02/elio-sec-lost-53m-so-far/

i like it, looks cool as long as all of it looks like that.

walk it up with three guys. It's not as heavy as you think.

so I just started calling folks, I think I got the owner and told him what I was trying to do. I guess he hooked me up. Did you try calling the manufacturer in the pic? Airmax

I use a 5 ton for a 60x40x14 2x6 stick frame insulated and sheetrocked and it's not too much, keeps up about right but it's not 100 either. FYI I used a 60' long 18" air sock ($80 shipped) for distribution.

Love my 8500's!

I have a 5 Ton heatpump (no heatstrips) for a new 60x40 insulated shop. Ran a 18" airsock down the length, heats and cools perfectly. I don't use the shop everyday but find that it's so well insulated the temp stays pretty stable. 5 ton for that size may be too much. Short-cycle and wont get...

wow.... We all joke about some of the stated capacities that come out of China, shelves that hold 5000 lbs, jacks that lift 50 tons (yeah sure) I wonder... If someone were to get injured from these "12 Ton" jack stands how much liability would HF have? Seems like there would be plenty of...

Who do you think told the tech to do it?

Well I did find one on CL but they wanted $75 and I thought that was just too much for a American made unit. :)

Would like some opinions on this one. Anyone purchase one yet? Specs seem decent (besides being Chinese) although the min speed of 600 is a bit high. Thoughts? http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200659141_200659141
