Can this be installed in an attic or is the Temperature to hot? Vented attic over garage is where I need it.

We have purchased many from this vendor. The system works fine and we have them in the worse of conditions. Quick to ship, system works, price fair

I don't see why it would not be OK. depending on the temperature in the attic? it is like any other Hub it does generate some heat but as long as you have some ventilation it should be OK. there are cooling slots on the side of the unit for ventilation but this may cause a problem with dust and dirt in the attic? I have mine in a closet and you can not feel any heat from it at all. Good luck

I wouldn't place this in a bare attic, bc of the fiberglass dust PLUS the heat. Why not hide it on a top shelf of a closet, and just use wire ties on a metal grill shelf to hold 2 large fans to move air across it? You can "build" a hide place with an up side down large boot box with slits.

The adjustment for temperature leaves a lot to be desired. You are better off having an electrician install a thermostat on it. On the low settings mine would still turn on in my garage, with the garage door open, when it was 80 degrees outside.

According to the specifications listed on the unit's web page (http://www.allavino.com/wine-refrigerators/winecooler4059/MWR-541-BL-C.shtml), the ambient temperature range for the unit is 45-80°F. So no, I would not advise placing the unit into a garage that heats up to 90 degrees.

It is amazing for the garage. I have a two car garage, 22 feet by 20 feet and it can take the garage from about 48 degrees to 70 degrees in about 45 minutes. Afterward place it on automatic mode with the thermostat set to about 3/4 and it will keep the garage toasty enough to work in a tee shirt on just about any project. Hope this helps..........Bob

This is outdoor only. It has to be in an exterior open aired space. No interior garage installation allowed. that would vent harmful exhaust into the garage. They sell the indoor unit and will require proper venting flue. Both indoor and outdoor units are great!

Walt, it depends on how cold your garage gets. You didn't state how insulated the area is or if the garage is attached. My garage is a large 3 car attached and well insulated garage with a 12' ceiling. When we are in the low teens (rarely) the temperature in the garage drops to the mid forty's. I'll turn the unit on in the morning and it takes about an hour to bring it up to the upper 50's. Eventually I'll run it till it hits the mid 60's and keep it there throughout the day. If your room is near 0 degrees or poorly insulated, you will need a much bigger heater. Wenatchee sounds pretty cold.... Walt, it depends on how cold your garage gets.

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.

I have it installed in my partial above ground basement in NC. It needs a way to be installed so it can vent outside. One of my neighbors there has it installed in their crawl space.

I use it indoors so I would assume that mounting it in a garage attic is fine, so long as you can get it wired to your TV.

I keep mine in an unused bedroom we have turned into a store room. Living in Texas it's not really an option to keep the cooler in the garage, at least not for about 9 months of the year. The air conditioning is usually about 74 degrees in my home and the cooler has little to no effort in keeping an internal temp of 52-55 degrees. Even though the door is supposed to be UV protected I make sure and keep the curtains drawn as to keep sunlight from hitting the door directly.

It is very small unit that puts out a lot of heat. If your garage is insulated real good it will keep very warm. Mine heats up a well insulated garage 1100 sq ft no problem.

I have this installed in my garage and it does a great job keeping it to temperature. However, I don't think the fan on this would do a good enough job of circulating to cover 5 rooms. I think you would have 1 really hot room and it would be drastically cooler the further away from the heater you get.

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.

I'm not a certified electrician, but I do live in florida and gave this light to my father who uses it in his garage which has no air conditioning. The light does get very hot. I don't see why you couldn't use it outside, but would err on the side of caution and check with the manufacturer.

We love it James. Although we put ours in the garage attic, it seems quiet enough to put in a living area. All I know is that it's lowered the temp in the garage by about 20+ degrees!

I mounted ours in the garage, love the heat and love the remote - there is a lot of heat that comes off this bar. i would be afraid that it might catch the awning on fire. There is a tall heat lamp that I also purchased - not the table top model - taller like a floor lamp - love this product too.

I have mine mounted above the door in back room of my cabin. Can be mounted indoors but must be vented out. (chimney). Cabin is solar powered and have shower in back room with rv pump to heater for hot water for shower and sink. Works great but doesnt seem to get as hot as they lead you to believe. Shower temp seems to be perfect temp with just the hot water only. Paul
