8' ceiling! I really wish it had 12' or even 10' ceilings. I don't use my garage for much that's not automobile related. It has a lot of stuff in it, but I do have 3 vehicles parked in it with my benches, tool boxes, compressor, etc. I really try hard to keep non garage stuff out of the...

I took 1/2 day off of work and got a bit of tinkering done that I just haven't had time to do. I cleaned and then polished my windshield with Ceriglass, changed wiper blades, hit the plastics with Solution Finish to bring it back to normal color and then finally wet sanded and polished my...

I've never ran into any for $200, but they can be found for under $500.

Seriously look into an inverter. My house stays so much more comfortable and uses less electric because unless it's really hot or really cold, it runs at much less than 100% capacity. Check our Amana and Daiken to get some ideas on quotes. I'm not sure where you are in MD, but there are...

@tunerwithkids How has the Yitahome working out for you? I just watched your video and it looks like you bought the 220 version? I see they have a 12,000 BTU, 20 SEER, 120V for $446 shipped and I'm considering it for either my garage or 12x20 wood shop. It seems like a no brainer for the price.

Install it close to where you work the most so it makes you the most comfortable.

Well, a place where I volunteer needed an electric lock changed out because they lost the key and it wasn't functioning right. I swapped it out for them with a new one, but took the old one home with me. Without having a key for it, it makes it difficult to rekey it. I tore it apart and was...

The answer has already been said a couple times in this thread and in many others. A traditional receiver, a speaker in each of the 4 corners and an Amazon Alexa device where you can get it to play about any station or use Amazon music. I have them in my garage, woodshop and all over the house.

Look into a heat pump that meets the tax credits. It's definitely over $10k though. I just replaced my upstairs unit, had a larger return added, new lineset, new thermostat, new drain pan and drain. I was between Amana and Daiken for the warranty and inverter setups. I ended up going with...

My wife used to work in the office for a place that did a lot of concrete leveling and filling voids at a commercial level. They used this stuff. https://www.polylevel.com/

Is the rest of the house air conditioned? If you insulate and finish the room, why not run ductwork to the room for cooling?

For cleaning it, pressure washer is the way to go. We have a big area at the ballfield that had moss and really discolored. I pressure washed it last year and it made it look great.

Nope, I leave mine set to auto with a 5 or 6 degree spread in the A/C vs Heat setpoints. Depending on how many months it's been, you might be due for a return filter change soon.

We have 2 Manitowoc's at the baseball field for the concession stand. They are reputable and what you see in a lot of businesses.

Everything was installed yesterday. It's so much quieter than the old one that you can barely hear it running. It was running at between 25%-38% capacity the times I was checking it last night, so that's a good sign. It was 80 degrees upstairs when they finished the install and it didn't take...

OK, I pulled the trigger on one and it's scheduled to be installed on Friday. Heat Pump Daikin Fit DZ6VS Whole House Inverter Heat Pump DZ6VSA2410 Air Handler Daikin DFVE Multi-Position Air Handler DFVE24BP1400 AHRI # : 210435082 SEER2 17.3 EER2 10.1 Capacity 2 Ton New Line...

I had a quote since my last post and a final quote coming by the end of the week. The last one was for just over $13k Heat pump model: DZ6VSA2410 Air handler model: DFVE24BP1400 This one also includes replacing the line set, adding slim duct to cover it, larger return vent and return duct as...

I can do about everything, but don't get into HVAC too much. Thermostat replacement, ductwork and capacitor's the easy things. I replaced the circuit board on my heat pump a few years ago too. You can figure out a lot with a good clamp meter.

By the numbers, it doesn't make much sense. The Gree Flexx has lower SEER2, EER2 and HSPF2. It has the energy star seal, but the Goodman does not. I really like the communicating units like the Daiken/Goodman, but may end up with the Gree just because of the $2k rebate. I live in a town...

Thanks. The "may qualify" is the part that I don't get...
