I'm in Houston and looking for something to help cool my garage turned into a gym. No window, but I do have a back door to the area. Will this help?

Fans do not provide any cooling. If anything, they create heat from operation. That said, it will help circulate stagnant area and make it more enjoyable. It is a powerful fan, for sure.

This will only circulate the air and if the door is open it will suck air from outside but in the blistering heat of Houston i wouldnt count on it to cool it much

It will certainly move the air around. It won't cool the air or change the humidity level though. I use it in Santa Monica when the outside air is cool and the inside air is hot. it works great for that.

This is the fan for you! It can blow at you or put it in the middle of the room, aim it straight up and let it circulate the air in the whole room. I know you will love it!

It is better if the window is cracked but it will work with the windows closed. It will add humidity to the room though.

It's worth a try. Obviously, the evaporation rate is going to count a lot here, since that is how you get your cooling. Worth a shot.

Lord no! Don't put that thing in your garage! It really stinks, but it really works! We put ours on the edge of the woods where they will get sun. Try our best not to get downwind of them.

I haven't used it for that purpose - just for cooling down rooms once it starts to cool down outside. Sorry I can't be of more help.

It might help with the condensation. It pulls much more moisture from the air than the passive units with charcoal, etc., but you would probably need to keep the door to the bathroom closed to have it really make a difference. Mine draws only about a quarter of a cup/day from a mid-sized bedroom with the door open, so it should do much better in a smaller room with the door closed. It is still a big help in keeping the summer-time humidity down in the bedroom.

it will definately take the chill out of the air, but since it is uninsalated and has 17 windows that probablly leak air, you will probably need two. If the room was insulated it would keep it warm

Is your garage fully insulated to prevent heat transfer? If so, the unit may work to keep one end of the garage cool if you were to blow it on you from a distance adjusted for comfort. You need to calculate the volume of air you are trying to cool compared to the unit's rating. If it is not large enough, you may need a larger size.

I've had my garage (400sqft) down to 70 degrees. The outside temp today was 92 (heat index of 101). I would check the insulation above the bedroom and other possible factors, maybe even a bad unit.

Lori,does the wall aim towards the large garage door or is it somewhere where there has a dead wall? The heat would be read as a signature that is not normally present in the space. If so then this should work... if at the big garage door then this might have issues until the heat signature moves fairly close to the unit itself....

This might help, but I would think, not by much. There are Styrofoam insulators available for garage doors that I think would be better served. They are generally available at places like Home Depot or Lowes.

It expels heat out the back which may prove to be inefficient if you have the entire unit in a room. The back portion would have to be outside for the unit to cool a room efficiently.

Hello, I have had this product installed in my garage and it works great, in Tampa we get some pretty terrific thunderstorms, this helps seal the garage doors more completely. I would recommend also that you also look at the bottom garage door seal and see if it is flat and lost it elasticity, with this product and news seals you stand a better chance of keeping water and dirt out of your garage.

I use it in a 10 x 30' x 10' ceiling screened in patio and it's perfect. Don't know how big your garage is, but with your 25' ceiling you might want to consider a slightly larger one, maybe 50,000 but even with a ceiling exhaust I would still crack open your garage door an inch or two to be on the safe side. The heater is a little louder than I expected, but isn't bothersome to me. I think all of them are louder, kinda like a tiny jet engine. You'll want to use a 20# propane tank at LEAST! Hope this is useful.

I can't see how it would. I have mine cooling the computer room in the middle of my building (no outside window), however, I have it vented out the drop ceiling, in to the 'attic space' that IS vented to the outside. The vent once came off, and the heat in that tube was substantially higher than I thought it would be. And the ac ran the whole time as the harder it tried to cool, the hotter the exhaust air that wasn't being exhausted but sent back into the room, etc. It needs to be exhausted somewhere or it won't work.

You can use the fan to exhaust purposes. It can be used in an unheated garage as long as it's not exposed to outside weather.

it would definitely provide shade.... although despite the vent in the back, it didn't have a whole lot of air flow unless you were right near the front.
