QUOTE: Originally posted by twhite Carl--I think I'll look into it--we're having a SUPER heat-wave out here in Carmichael and I've had to put a portable fan in the garage just to keep it to a temperature that I can walk into, let alone work on the train. Thanks for the info. Tom[:D] PS: does it have to connect to the central air-conditioning unit?

QUOTE: Originally posted by whitman500 How difficult is it to cut the hole in the wall? I have a well-insulated garage (drywall, drop ceiling, and carpet) and would like to add an AC unit but am concerned about how to cut through the wall. The exterior of the house is wood boards. Not sure what is underneath. Also, what are the power requirements? I only have two 20A circuits in the garage, one of which routes exclusively to the garage door opener.

QUOTE: Originally posted by MisterBeasley For my train room, I got a through-the-wall unit, about 15,000 BTU. At the time, that was the biggest one that would run on 120 volts. Yes, it does require a big hole through the wall and some mounting brackets, but then it stays there forever and you don't have to invite 2 friends over and serve them beer and pizza just to get it in and out of the window when the seasons change. I'm in New England, so the temperature isn't anywhere near as brutal in the summer as some of you folks are experiencing. (Ha-ha. That's why we can get pink foam and you can't.) We only run this thing to get the room down to the comfort zone when we need it.
