We had this installed in our CYV last fall. We don't have actual numbers, but the garage temperature isn't nearly as hot as it was last summer. Though still warm, it isn't anything like the blast furnace effect you'd get when walking in there before.
SECO customers get a 25% discount (or at least they did last year), and you can get a tax break also (that was worth about $500 on the $1,700 job). Depending on the size of your house the price will, of course, vary.
We're satisfied with it.
