Re: Portable A/C Units
I do not use one, but I understand they work reasonably well, but that they are roughly half as efficient as window or through the wall units. They exhaust through a hose the size of a dryer exhaust hose. This still has to vent through a window or wall. You would need a minumum of 12,000 btu's for a 2-car garage - optimally 18,000; and 18,000 to 24,000 btus's for a 2-car with golf cart garage. Make sure you insulate at least the ceiling and garage door.
