I have a 780 sq ft garage here in southern NM. I don't want to insulate as it's used as just a garage, not a hangout. But the summers are very hot. Would this work if the garage is uninsulated?
@@troybower9419 hello. So I did use mine for probably a week without insulation before they put it in. This was in the summer when it was I think 105° and it could get it down to mid to low 80s inside. but if you run it all night, it’ll really help the next day. In other words Don’t just start it in the morning or in the afternoon. Let it run all night and it’ll help but you definitely want to do some insulation. If you can doesn’t have to be spray foam you could get the least expensive and put it in yourself. Also, the example I gave you is my garage is 1000 ft.² with 15-16 foot ceilings. It would work even better than yours since it’s approximately 800 ft.².
@@jbr555s thanks for the response. My ceilings are 12’ high. Well, the exposed rafters are 12’ high and they are about 2’ trusses so 14’ to the roof decking. I just don’t want to insulate. I spend no more than two hours per week in the garage. And it’s only uncomfortable for about six months out of the year. Right now it is between 90 and 93° in the garage. Low 80s would be awesome.
@@troybower9419 yes what you just told me you will be just fine. You don’t need to insulate for what you’re going to do. And it also heats absolutely perfect for those 30° desert nights if you want to warm it up.
@@jbr555s appreciate you taking the time to chat. I’ve also considered a solar attic fan to draw the heat out. Because right now I have no airflow which is part of the problem. That’s a good looking garage that you have!
Did you have to bleed lines or how did the setup go with the freon or whatever is used? Also, what did you do with the excess line length from the Outside unit to your unit?
No the Mr Cool comes with the lines pre-charged it's pretty easy there's more videos you'll see where they hook it up. once you screw the fittings together the Freon releases and it's pretty easy and awesome!! it just coils up outside it worked out just fine
Looks great! I have about 1500 sq feet insulated pole barn and nervous if it will be underpowered. I live in OH so not nearly as hot (but it is cold)…. Does the Mr. Cool run all day long or shut off here and there?
It would definitely help a lot I don't know if it's a really really hot humid summer if it would get it down below 78 or 79° because of the size of yours. mine is 1000 ft.² and it works great. You could always start with one and if you feel like you need another one add one more and you're covered completely. as for the heat, you get a lot colder than we do so you might check with Mr Cool because I believe they have one that has extra heating but I don't know how big it goes. mine never has any problem in Vegas even when it's 30° outside in the winter I can turn it on it does whatever I need to

Nice video and awesome garage. I just wish one could buy custom length line-sets. Not only would that make installs look tidier, but would also make the unit more efficient.
Oh my gosh u r right! I almost didn’t build it. What’s crazy and funny is I just started to build when the shut down happened and I was laid off work. I had saved up the money to pay for it but I was thinking about not even building it because I didn’t know how long I’d be off work for. Boy am I so glad that I did it. It would be close to double the price now. It Cost me almost $90k to build it.
I just have an attached 2 car garage south facing in Vegas. I have food storage in it and looking for ideas to get a more stable temperature. Do you have anyone you would recommend me use to give me some quotes? I don't think I have the knowledge and skills to do it myself. Thanks! Travis
Very cool. No pun intended. Couple of questions if you don't mind. How has the mini-split performed so far? I'm in Phoenix and am just about to have an RV garage built (24x50). Also, what is the cost comparison between the blue pine and drywall? The pine looks nice, but it seems like it would be pricey. The garage looks great.
It still works perfect. I use it to turn on the heat when it gets down to 30° if I want to do something in the garage. And then in the summers it works flawlessly the app is terrific and makes it easy I can turn it on when I leave work and that way it's whatever temperature I want to be when I get home. I can't remember what price it was I got the blue pine from Home Depot but yes it was way more than drywall and it would probably be a whole lot more now with the price of wood. Thank u. I highly recommend Mr. cool mini split super impressed
@@jbr555s Thanks for the reply. Glad it's working out for you. I'll have to check out Mr. Cool when it comes time to cool the new garage. Thanks again.
Excellent video! Thanks and your garage is awesome. I'm in Vegas too and would appreciate getting your insulation contact info. Also just curious, could you have run the line set downward between the studs on the inside while the wall was open?
Aloha. Glad to hear. If u have any questions let me know. Btw the thing works awesome when its cold to. Heats it up real fast from 30 degrees no problem!
Awesome video. I just installed 3 of these units in my 3 car garage. However, the install was amateur. The lines are running throughout my walls like a hospital intensive care unit. Is there a way I can run the lines inside my walls so that they are hidden and looks clean?
Thx so much! Gosh I don’t know how to do that but I’m sure there is a way. U would maybe need advice from someone who runs stereo equipment through walls in houses?
I'm interested in purchasing the exact unit you have and wanted to know how that mrcool was working out and if you still recommend it. Looking for an installer. I live in Henderson,Nv
It still works awesome!! Winter when it gets down to 30° and in the summer when it’s up to 110° like today. it’ll cool my Garage anytime I turn it on just like an air conditioner in a car almost. Finding someone to install it you’ll need two things someone that will Do the electrical and then someone to put it up on the wall and place the outdoor unit. Me and a friend just watched a TH-cam video for Mr Cool and It was super easy to install the unit and I had an electrician do the other part. You probably won’t find an air-conditioning person to do the whole thing because it’s too quick and easy and they won’t make enough money at it. Especially this time of the year in Vegas with this heat.
It works incredibly good! it’ll be 110 outside and i’ll leave work turn the air conditioning on with my app, a hour later it’s exactly where ever I want it to be. Keep in mind though I have spray foam in the entire garage. Purchase one if it’s not enough then you can purchase another one. The one I have does the entire garage perfect.
It was about $90k-95k. But that was before the shut down really kicked in. Supposedly wood and materials have jumped up A LOT! It would probably be in the 150k range, maybe. Hope that helps. Thx
Thank u. Me and a buddy installed it and a electrician wired it. It was really easy to install there are good install videos online. All u do basically mount a bracket on the wall and cut a approx 3 inch diameter hole then connect it outside. The electrical part is over my head. Ha.
Thx man! Triple H construction. They are little slow on response time and communication but you can trust them 100%. CJ is the guy in charge. In Las Vegas the process is you have to get some engineering work done in architecture stuff done before you break ground and believe me I did tons of research to figure out a way around doing all that but you have to for the permitting. That’ll cost you 10 to 20 grand before you break ground for the engineer and architect. Let me know if you got any other questions
@@jbr555s amazing garage! how much total did everything cost to build the RV garage? I’m looking at new builds with RV garage, builders are charging $60k for it.
Nice! I have a 1000 square foot loft that faces west with a 25 foot ceiling. I put in a 3-ton mini split and some say it's overkill for the size. Any issues with short cycling or humidity? I am in the Pacific Northwest and the outside temps in the summer range from the mid 70s to the mid 90s. Also how many amps did you have to put in your breaker to run it?
I have not had any issues at all. I don’t know about the breaker stuff because I don’t know much about the electrical. I have a buddy that’s an electrician that did it all.
Hi,.. Is the line set directional?... That's to say.... R the connectors specific to the indoor /outdoor units? Mine came with no identifying marks to orient correctly.... Thanks.
@@jbr555s thanks for the reply! I checked the manual,..many many times and 3 days waiting for tech support at Mr Cool to respond.... Seems like no one remembers how they attached the line=set , or weather it mattered....
@@jbr555s As you know,... it cant be re-attached if i get this wrong so I looking for a definite answer, and am into my 4th day for this to be answered by Mr Cool... thanks for taking time to reply...
I can’t believe mr cool hasn’t responded. They were real good when I needed something. Google ingrams air they sell them and have great customer service. U should also be able to find a TH-cam video I would think.
They don’t have one. It’s a do it yourself install system. It’s really easy except for the electrical part. Have an electrician do that but watch some TH-cam videos of the install. Super easy
I'm installing a 36k multizone unit. Did you do the electrical? I'm running up against an issue finding the right size crimp terminal to connect the 6 gauge wire to the outside condenser. Were you able to find something that worked?

Excellent no problems
@@jbr555s do you still have the installers info?
I installed it except for the electrical. I don’t have the electricians information.
I order one for my RV Garage here in Vegas …Thank you
Oh awesome! I love it! It works awesome, heating cooling whatever I wanna do and the app works terrific.
Did you run a manual J or any type of HVAC btu calculator? An 18k or 24k btu unit woulda worked and cost half the price to operate.
I have solar w enough credit it doesn't cost me anything to run it. When I do run it it doesn't put a dent in my credits.

Gotcha thx!
What size circuit is the 36k on?
Sorry but I don't know the electrician did that part. And it was so long ago I don't remember
