Sure thing..
That's what I was thinking also, getting 2
its hard to beat 80.00 for a wall/ceiling mounted heater.
& w/ the 10-20.00 coupon its even more inviting.

I finally have heat in my barn! Picked up a couple Trane unit heaters (hanging shop furnaces) a few years ago, but just finally got it hooked up a couple months ago. Mine is a 150k btu unit. My overall barn is 40x62, but the main section that gets heated is 40x46. Still finishing the insulation and interior walls, but having heart is a beautiful thing! Also ran water, cable, internet, etc...

750 square feet garage. 1.5 ton Mini Split HVAC that keeps it nice and toasty in the winter and cool in the summer. When I added that thing it was like gaining 750 square feet of livable conditioned space that my wife stays out of.....best think ever.

I have pretty much the same setup, 750 sq ft with a 1.5 ton mini split heat pump. Comfortable year round and no messing with them, just set the thermostat and leave them alone.

I also put a 1 ton mini split in my wife's shop. Went with a couple of DIY units. Delivered and installed for less than $2K.

I've looked at those a little. Is the DIY 1.5 ton a 110 or 220? What brands did you use? Are your connections the couplers?

The 1 ton is 110V and the 1.5 ton is 220, both 15amp circuits.

I went with the Mr Cool DIY series from an HVAC company in Kentucky. They come pre-charged with 25ft linesets connected to the inside units. Quick-connects on the outside unit. Truly DIY, just mount it, connect the lineset and the wiring, and turn it on.

The outside unit is small enough to hang on the wall and they work great !!! Quiet and efficient, most of the time I have to put my hand up there to feel if the unit is running.

I also put a 2.5 ton unit in my neighbors garage and he loves it. He works for an HVAC company and this unit cost him half of what it would have through his company.

Cool....I am in KY, what is the company? I might have seen these before. Yeah, I think they come with like a 25 foot line set correct? What did you do with your extra length? Just leave curled up outside or what? These things are charged perfect for the length of line set you have so you can't cut it, I was just wondering what people did with the extra? People thought I was crazy but I seriously considered putting a .75 (9,000 BTU) in one a deer palace to hunt the early bow season in the AC.

I have a Pioneer from Amazon. I'm sure just a Chinese rebrand. I have had it a little over 2 years. 1.5 ton. My 220 was there already. Mounted on the wall and set the outside unit on the concrete adjacent to the garage. I did have to have a HVAC tech come out and pull a vacuum and make all my connections so I had a little cost...maybe $200. But the DIY is very very appealing. Even if the cost was a tad higher, the option to put these in yourself like you want, when you want is priceless.

Most people just coil the extra lineset.

You can see a video I did about them at Press Play Rewards - Jamie - Ingram's Water and Air - YouTube (got an extra rebate for that).

The 1 ton could be hooked up with a standard plug into a 110V outlet, but I would not recommend it.

1000 sq ft currently with an oil furnace with an above ground tank. I plan on removing the furnace this summer and installing a pellet stove that has a 3 day hopper. The 3 days would get me through weekends out there or cold snaps with just feeding every 3 days. With our climate it doesn’t need heat most of the time.
