I have a garage that is 960 sq ft with a 9 foot high ceiling. What size unit (BTU) do I need?

I have 832 sq ft on a the 1st level and 512 sq ft upstairs in a well insulated outbuilding (Michigan). My unit is 60,000 BTU, in my 2nd winter and doing fine.

I have the same size garage, and the HD60ASO111 Hot Dog does a real good job of heating with no problems with it since I purchased it about a year ago as a replacement for what it had. I had a 75,000 BTU unit in it before and I can't tell any difference.

I would think you would want at least the 75,000 BTU and may be better to move up to a 100,000 BTU unit.

The 60000 btu would work great. It is over sized but for the priceit is worth it. I have 750 sq ft garage with 12ft ceiling and it heats it up fast. Less strain on the unit.

Yes, I did that for one of the units. You have to get a diamond drill from Home Depot or Loews that equals the circumference of the flex tubing. Everything else you need should be included with the unit. These units are very efficient, easily cool or heat 4-500 square feet. Love my 2 unuts

Hello You have to contact the customer service to let them know that you want one 18000 and two 9000 btu inside units, be careful my outside unit broke down after a couple of months, I had to call them several times after many calls they didn't want to take my calls, they sent the spare part after 6 months so it's up to you I don't recommend this company regards

Thanks for the reply. I thought about the basement but unless it has an 8 foot plus ceiling it would be awfully tight. In the end I decided daylight was more important and worked out how to keep it warm. If we had a garage then I would have put there since you could open the door for daylight, probably would have still put in a heat pump for it if the garage was unheated.

Yes the indoor unit needs to be centrally located to reach all areas with similar effect. You also need a 24000 BTU unit.

I have this system in my insulated garage and I put a 10x10 vent near where I hung it. Also I put a carbon dioxide detector to be safe. Heater works great!!

That is their recommendation....I would make sure to follow their recommendation. Ours in in the garage with plenty of room....the heatpump does need plenty of room to pull air...hope this helps

i have this unit in a 25 ft x 25 ft garage; insulated (with 2 doors & windows), concrete floor & 10 ft ceiling.(attic above). it's set on the lowest setting and keeps the temp. around 50 degrees. i wall mounted the unit because i didn't want to damage the dry wall. down side: noisier than i expected, otherwise works well.garage is attached to home.

John, I don't know what the btu is, I mean I know what btu is, but I don't know what it is on this unit. I can tell you that I purchased two of these, and it heats up to 1500 square feet, is very cost efficient, and I may purchase another one. It isn't an expense to purchase this, it is an investment.

1/2 ton is 6,000 BTU's....this is slightly less. It's enough to cool a room up to maybe 150 sq ft if you're lucky

It is rated @ 600 square feet, which is a room or bldg. about 20 by 30 feet. Of course it depends on how well it's insulated. That's basically a 2 car garage. I live in western PA, and I have one in my basement that runs on the low setting (6,000 btu's) about all winter. It has cut my heating costs significantly because the crappy forced air heat isn't always running. I actually installed 2 of these in the basement for emergency, in case of and electrical outage to keep the house warm. If I run both of these on the high setting, they will run me out of the basement. It will get 85-90 degrees down there in half an hour. My basement is 25 by 22 feet.

Really depends on the space and insulation. At max output this heater produces 60,000 but/hour. You can figure out the heating arrangement here:http://www.calculator.net/btu-calculator.html I use it in a semi-insulated garage that is 1000 sq/ft and it brings it up from 25 to 60 in about 15 minutes on high.

A difference, yes, but getting 2 of them (or a larger model) would be better. My shop is 680 sq.ft. It will do most of it ok, but there is an area it won't reach.

I have a garage that is aprx 23X29 with 12' ceilings, I haven't had it in any sub zero weather yet but so far it has been good and I didn't think it was as noisy as what some of the reviews were. FYI I live in the Chicago area to give you an idea of what type of Weather I use it in.

Reasonably low..but, the device simply would not cool a 350 sq foot room. Try and 5000 BTU window unit...you will be happier. I took LG back to Home Depot..good luck

absolutely just make sure your ceiling is high enough... I think it's 9' high.we LOVE IT!

Any six inch an should work. Lowes and Home depot carry different remodel types depending on depth of ceiling.
