man cave/garage AC and heat

Do you need to heat both sides of your garage? If I had that setup I would heat/cool the 24x26 side with a 5kW electric unit heater and a big window shaker.

Nice heater JFP. I bet that set you back a few shekels by the time it was installed and running.

Not really, the firm that I purchased it from ships free with no sales tax, I installed it and wired and plumbed it myself for about $350 in one afternoon, then had it inspected by the township and gas company for a $25 fee. So all in, it was less than a grand. I'm currently in my home shop, it is 65F in here and about 20F outside at the moment, and the unit has probably run less than 10 min. total in the last hour.

Well worth the expense and effort...........

I installed the same style 2 year ago, but a Modine Hot Dawg. It's been great, with the addition of a 7-day programmable thermostat. You can ramp the heat up to be ready for you after work, or on the weekend.
