We put a treadmill in our garage and it gets pretty warm in Texas during the 10 months of summer we have. Fans just weren’t cutting it. We got this AC unit to keep it cool in there without having to run duct work from our HVAC unit into the garage. This unit doesn’t take up an entire window like the traditional window units so you get more light in. The controls are more easily accessible as well. The mobile app makes it a breeze. We did have to get a window put in the garage to accommodate the unit and run a dedicated electrical outlet but that was a necessity regardless. If you are looking for a unit that is easy to install and keeps a dedicated space cool, you can’t go wrong here.
