Okay guys, turns out I have access to a family contractor account locally, and I can get a Daikin unit for what seems to be a great price. 18 seer 24k unit with all installation accessories for $1600 plus tax. My issue now is, being sure of the BTU rating needed for a garage install. Aside from...

Yes, I hear Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, and Daikin are quite good, in that order. Being that I will be finishing the basement soon, I was considering getting a 2 zone mini split, to heat/cool both the garage and basement. The hydronic heater unit run off my boiler would be install in the corner of the...

Hello guys, this is obviously a quite popular subject and has been covered many times, however I would like to get some suggestions as it relates to a common choice scenario. My home is a typical New Jersey ranch, which happens to have an attached 3 car garage (800 sqft) The home is heated by...

My concern is not finding contractors, in New Jersey, its not difficult, its finding good contractors. Negative experiences seem far more frequent than positive ones in this area. So many guys competing for the same work, short cuts, incorrect estimates, workers with no experience, esc.

I am in Somerset NJ, central/west jersey

You did a great job with your garage, and I can especially relate to your attention insulation and heating. It is going to be great to get off a cold wet floor and into a garage, no matter what size. I really like your idea about separating the parking area and work areas. I know from experience...

Thanks Swiss. I like your style

Thanks guys. As much as I would love to have a detached garage out back, I don't think I have the room for a driveway on the side, and there are a lot of large trees in the back. The rear exit from the garage is an interesting idea, however there is a room behind the garage that would need to be...
