Window A/C-Heater....again....sorry

[sneakyfast]

Gawd I hate being a newbie....sorry for this question but looking through the archives I'm a little confused. Here's what I have:

14X12 (168 sq ft) shop/office....yes I know it's tiny.
Drywalled/sheet rocked so I'm not sure of the insulation but seems to be half decent.
concrete floors/standard ceiling height.
In Charlotte so moderate climate.

I need a window a/c heater and can run 120 or 240 but prefer 120 so i don't have to run power.

I will be out here year round now that I'm working from home so any suggestions on a unit that would work? I've read a ton but can't seem to wrap my head around Btu's etc.

Anyone feeling charitable and and help a brother out?

If you want quality, go with Friedrich. I have one in my shop office of the same size.

Thanks guys....so does the BTU capacity relate to the cooling or heating?

The BTU's relate to both cooling and heating. The first unit you listed is a heat pump style with 8000 BTU cooling & 7000 BTU heating. The second unit is an A/C with electric strip heating with 8000 BTU cooling and 11600 BTU heating.

I just got one of these -

They also have a 12000 BTU model - the ones you listed look real expensive - I only paid $505 for mine (18K BTU) including free shipping.

Home Depot has some LG brand 7000 BTU models with AC, heat and a remote for around $350
