The one I wanted to get got sold before I could get there. Homedepot.com said there was one in Irving. There wasn't. Found a Champion Marquis on craigslist, older and in worse condition than I would like, but hey it's just for a garage and I need to do something. I need to get a good thermometer so I can make some less subjective comments. I do have an AC gauge I can stick in it though. I cut a whole through the garage wall and got it setup. I opened my attic about 1/2 way to work as exhaust vent. Hoping the air going up there will help cool the attic too. Maybe that will help the house. Anyway last night I tried it, starting with the garage being just below peel your skin off hot. In about 20 minutes you could definitely tell the difference. Is it like being in the house? no, but with the air moving around as much as it does and temps I would guess around 84 or 85 it's definitely comfortable enough to work with out sweating all over everything. This morning with cooler temps and higher humidity, 65% it still puts out air @ 78 degrees. I am going to run it all day and see how it goes.
glad to hear it. again, they can't make it as cold or cool as quickly as a modern high-tech A/C unit, but they do work. if a little something is all you need, then it's just the ticket. :)
Its almost winter Mike
It actually makes it cool much quicker than AC. It cools the air coming out to about 79 and replaces all the air in the room fairly quickly. I would say reaches it's full cooling in 15 or 20 minutes. If I go from the house to the garage it doesn't feel so great. But if I go from out side into the garage it feels awesome. Today is more humid than it has been and being outside is just unbearable. However, I will be working in the garage no problem. So far I'm going to say it was definitely worth doing.Quote:
