I installed the 18000btu system. It’s working well. If I had it to do again I’d probably go 24000btu now that I’ve been living with it for a week or so. In the heat of the day the temps in the garage rise to around 75 when it’s in the low 90’s outside. I would prefer to be able to keep it at...

After speaking at length with customer service this morning I ended up ordering an 18000btu system from Senville. The stellar customer service that they seem to offer is what made me choose them over Pioneer which is the other brand I was looking at. Time will tell if I made the right choice. I...

Thank you for your reply. It was very helpful! You make some excellent points and suggestions. Based on the information I supplied what do you think would be the proper sized system for the space? I have been seriously considering an 18000btu system for fear that a smaller one won’t cool to the...

I’m not sure what you’re talking about?

Here are a few pictures...

Yes they are painted. They are just like the exterior walls inside the house. There are furring strips between the block and back of the plasterboard. The house was built in the 70's in the short time before they switched to modern drywall. There are strips of what is similar to drywall nailed...

Maybe someone can explain how this formula relates to the phase converter motor? What I mean is when I searched what the wattage was of a 10hp electric motor best I could find is that it’s up to 7.5kw per hour. Now in my situation it spends a good amount of time idling and not under load unless...

Unfortunately not really. There’s no access to the attic crawl space a to speak of atm. The house’s central system air handler, supply and return ducts take up most of the space above the garage. The walls inside the garage are a sand finish plaster over the block walls. The one good thing I...

I did look at that but there were no options for cinder block construction or the fact that the garage is attached to the house on one side. Nor for a garage door, multiple lights, machines, water heater etc. best I could get with the options available said like 9000btu. I have a 7portable...

Idk in my research I’ve found that you absolutely CAN over size a minisplit variable system. That’s what I’m trying to avoid. Not removing the humidity that will condensate at colder temps on the various metals of the machines is a problem I’d like to avoid. Not to mention the prospect of...

Hello, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on how to go about proper sizing of a mini split system for a small 350sq.ft. garage shop. This is a shop that is used full time for production of small parts. Details of the shop. Located in Tampa Bay area of Florida 350 sqft. 8'6" ceiling...

I think I have information overload. If someone would recommend which and how many fixtures would be best for a wood/metal shop in a one car garage that measures 14'x23' with 8.5' ceilings I'd be very grateful. I currently have two old 4-fixture and one 2-fixture fluorescents. They are not...
