heater and a/c for garage
Is there such a unit I can install in my detached garage which I could use as air conditioner in the summer and heater in the winter?

Not sure where you could buy them but almost every motel room I have been has a unit like your describing.

They make both heat pump versions and resistance heat only versions of this combo heat/AC unit.

ductless mini split heat pump or a ptac heat pump. They also make window units like this.

You could use a mini split heat pump and make sure the garage is insulated real well. Straight electric heat in a garage is very expensive, been there already.
I aquired a fairly new 2 ton ICP gas pack that I installed on the roof for the garage and am happy with the results. I ran it mornings and evenings all last winter and our gas bill only jumped up 40 bucks. Do you have gas access to the garage? |

Thanks for the info. The detached garage is a shell, concrete floor and lots of extra plugs and extra electric panel. Yes, my first job will be to insulate. I'm just happy I will have a roof over my car. As a DIY'er, I would like a more comfortable area to work, etc. I plan to add a whole house generator with a buried propane tank so maybe I could somehow make use of heating with the propane. By the way, what is "ICP"? Thanks, again! |
