Fantastic unit, been thinking about something for my garage, almost too Hot to work in during the summer, and it's an ice box in the winter here in Tennessee.... Great info Kev ..
@@kev-reviewsok thanks I had the unit installed last summer. In the 18,000 BTU. Has worked great all summer even with100+ degrees days. I'm in South Alabama. I just wasn't sure how well the heat would work when it possibly might get to single digits in the winter. Thanks for letting me know the heat does indeed work well.
I would have to measure again, but I think the inside dimensions are 12x18. I think the internal ceiling peak is slightly under 14’. For some reason 13’ 8” is sticking in my head, but that could vary a bit as it’s been a while since I was doing anything involving the ceiling
@@kev-reviewsYeah I have a 12 x 28 kinda high ceilings and I had the 18k installed late spring done excellent in the summer. Hopefully works just as good this winter.
6:26 "...there's no wifi" GOOD! You may not know this, but I've worked in IT since the early 90s. I am NOT a Luddite. I like technology and always have. I mowed lawns to buy my first computer at 12 years old, a Vic 20. I will NEVER put anything on the internet other than a computer/phone. No TVs. No refrigerators and god damn it, no air conditioners or toasters. You might not also know that there is a relatively new standard called appliance ad-hoc networking. These are appliances that can create an ad-hoc network entirely invisible to you and it is not advertised (they are ALL doing it). But your appliance can talk to your neighbor's appliance who can talk to its neighbor's appliance etc until there are hundreds of nodes and only 1 of them need internet access to give ALL OF THEM internet access. You should be leery about anything that has a speaker in it that doesn't strictly need a speaker like a radio or TV. Speakers are essentially microphones. This is not just my paranoia, this has happened. If you have Alexa, they have your conversations recorded. Not only do you have to worry about them spying on you on behalf of the company, you have to worry about security breaches. If we have learned nothing else in the last 20 years, it's that NOTHING is secure. Everyone in power seems to think this is A-OK. We even have the states, who force you to get either a driver's license or a non-driver's license to do anything selling all your data. Most of the states are doing it. Just look at what the car companies are doing! They record everything about you. Kia even claims it owns any sexual activity caught on camera or microphone in your car. They record where you go (GPS) and the time and date and even if you have a passenger or not (which it detects through weight sensor in the passenger's seats), how long you were there, if your trunk opened and closed and many other details. It records this and sends it home to GM or Ford or whoever. Ford has copyrighted the idea of giving you contextual advertisements on your infotainment center. Of course, NONE of this benefits you in any way, it only makes them more money.
Just had my Ventus X installed two days ago for my garage. I love it so far. Super quiet

I’m pretty sure WindSanity covers Tennessee too
Question how well does the heat function work in the Winter??
Amazingly well. Kept my barn useable and at a stable temp all winter, and we were below zero for a few days last year

By the way what size is your tough shed that have the 12k unit installed in?
