I have a pole barn, so the hole was easy lol

Awesome you are getting this worked out for your garage!

Whatever you buy Bro, just make sure it has WIFI build in, not optional.
I even have it linked over Alexa with all the other lights and doors lol
but if you're not at home and you want to work in there, you can turn it on over the phone and it be warm by the time you get there, or set a schedule.

You sir, have been a great help. The unit I bought is wifi.

Lot's of valuable info was shared here. Maybe it will help someone else searching later on.

I appreciate all of you guys!

Infidel67 · 11-28-2023, 08:01 AM

Yes Sir, my pleasure, I'm glad I could help

Oh one more question? Are you mounting the outside unit on a cement patch or on the wall with a Bracket?

I planned on doing a wall mount, even ordered one. That being said, I have thought about just pouring a small pad for it to sit on. Still working that decision out.

Infidel67 · 11-28-2023, 09:05 AM

I have mine off the ground and on the wall, it's better for debris and air movement, also easier to go around with wheateater, blower and mower

Infidel67 · 11-28-2023, 09:08 AM

But the best thing of it all is the heating/air power and the efficiency, I installed one for my buddy's place and he cut his electric bill in half

That’s why I bought the wall mount. Just a tad concerned with vibration being transferred into the wall. Bedroom on other side of wall where I will mount it.

Infidel67 · 11-29-2023, 06:40 AM

Brother...Trust me when I tell you you won't hear or feel any vibration, I'm sure you got a unit that has an Inverter System. you could mount it under your bedroom window and you won't hear or feel a beep, I think these Systems are amazing.

SlowLS1 · 11-29-2023, 09:14 AM

Right on, I'm ready for it. Especially on mornings like this morning.
