Can I use this to insulate one small wall in my garage with 2x4's? It's a shared wall w/my indoor porch which I want to winterize.

I would not recommend that application. Probably the best and least expensive method would be a fiberglass bat (without vapor barrier) covered with drywall. If you do not want to cover the insulation, you might use an XPS (extruded polystyrene) board.

Hi, you could not find a better material, air sealing and insulation at once. Only issue is cost. This material expands very little and for filling entire wall cavities a bicomponent foam such as Tiger Foam would serve you better (google it, their web site has some great information about these jobs). In the Spring, I will foam between the rim joists and the outside foundation fascia, and this is what I will use. Have fun, Moreno

I believe as long as you have a place to vent it out of the space you are trying to cool, it should work. Just make sure that where ever you vent it out to, that it is ok to vent really warm air in there. This is a powerful machine and the air that it circulates out is hot. But it works really well cooling the space, I had it in an above garage room that would normally be very hot and it worked great!

This wrap is a great insulator. As long as the heat is low enough so that the plastic inside does not burn, it should work fine. If you are wrapping duct work it will work great. It is not for exhaust vent piping, which even double-walled would still be too high a temperature.

I think in very well might be better to install 2 of them. I have a single level 2400--but has a bonus room above garage--and a very tall attic space. I got 1 and it is only cooling my attic 10 degrees or so in the heat of the afternoon. I may look to buy a 2nd one later on down the road.

This is a big heater for such a small space. However, there are a lot of variables to consider. Is this enclosed porch addition well insulated or is it mostly glass walls. Is it in the shade with a N. exposure or in full S. exposure shade free sun. Assuming the worst with poor insulation, single pane glass and a northerly exposure this is the heater for you if you want to keep plants alive or sit in this porch in the evening in the winter. An over-sized heater will cycle frequently. You may not want to sit or even have furniture within 2 feet or so from this heater. It is more efficient to have a small heater running a high percentage of the time than having a behemoth turning on for five minutes every half hour. When in doubt it is probably best to error on the side of a little extra capacity. There are internet sites that will work the math for you if you know square footage of wall area by type, wood, window, etc. You can calculate your heat loss in thermal units given a certain outside temperature. In this way you can precisely calculate your BTU needs. This is a good little heater. I use it to assist heat pumps on cold evenings as they don't work well below a certain temperature. It makes a big difference in an area 5 times the area of your patio, but it is not the sole source of heat for the space. One last thought, if possible position the heater along the new outside wall facing in toward the original structure. If any of this is masonry the thermal mass will absorb heat when the heater is on and let it out slowly between cycles. This will allow your heater to cycle less often. Regardless, even with no masonry you don't want to be sending radiant heat into glass. I hope you find this helpful.

I dont see why not. You would need to cut a hole in the wall and frame it to handle the weight of the unit. I would put some weather sealing around it too. Im still pleased with how well it's working. We had quite a few 110 degree days in Phoenix and the unit has worked great.

I think you have to look at the space your heating and how well it is insulated. I installed one in a 2 car garage, fairly insulated, and it keeps the temp. just above the outside on very cold days.

We are using 2 in garage 25x25x10,and they work fine.I do not know about energy use.our garage is poorly insulated and we live in Texas,Goes to about 30 degrees,not much cooler outside.

This unit is very slim and fits up right to the wall taking up a small space - since warm air rises, mounting it on the wall might not be a good idea. I would contact the manufacturer to get an answer regarding your question.

Depending on your climate you may be able to. Note if you are below freezing often you may run into problems. You will need power and network in the attic. I checked the company'd website and here are the "Environmental" specs.Operating Temperature: 0℃~40℃ (32℉~104℉)Storage Temperature: -40℃~70℃ (-40℉~158℉)Operating Humidity: 10%~90% non-condensingStorage Humidity: 5%~90% non-condensinghttp://www.tp-link.com/lk/products/details/?model=TL-WA901ND#spec

I think you would be OK. I keep mine in the garage and the temperature there is often in the low thirties but doe not freeze. I use to power my snow blower and it works great, never get hard or become difficult to wind up after use. You could probably ask the manufacturer and see what they say.

I wouldn't suggest it. The container is only single wall plastic. No insulation around it at all

If you have a hole in your wall of the right size, yes. That's what I've done, in a small window - window removed and framed up the hole to fit this unit. It's not exactly the same as a wall unit - the kind with a small separate air unit in the room, connected to a larger outside unit. Those need only small holes to pass through the refrigerant lines and such. Those are much more expensive, are quieter, and generally higher capacity. This one is just a big old window unit. Cools well, but is noisy. And keep in mind that this unit is 220 volt. Can't just plug it in to a wall socket.

The sleeve is about 19.5" wide X 13.75" high on the outside. The AC unit is about 0.25" smaller. you could put it into your sleeve but you would have to secure it somehow and put Styrofoam around the inside to insulate. Maybe put would molding around the wall to cover the hole. It would work but not look very good.

One cubic foot of foam is not that much to insulate a whole garage, I ordered 1 of these to insulate a 6X7X5 tree house and it barely covered everything

I doubt this heater has the capacity to heat even a small space in a garage. We bought it to heat a well pump which is in a 3 ft diameter pit maybe 2 ft deep. It works great for an application like that but I think there are better solutions out there for you.

I would agree with previous comment...it would create a cozy area but will not heat the entire garage
