When the temperature outside becomes unbearable, it quickly becomes too hot to work inside your garage. That’s where garage air conditioning comes in. While most homes aren’t built with them, installing one is easier than you might think.
There are several garage AC units, each with its benefits and drawbacks. Your choice will depend on your personal preferences and how your home is set up.
The ductless mini-split is one of the most popular garage AC units, and for a good reason. They combine all the benefits of regular heating and AC units that you might find in your home in a small package. Ductless mini-split systems can be operated via a thermostat, and some newer models even allow you to control them using your smartphone. One of the drawbacks of ductless mini-split systems is their price. They are more expensive than other garage AC unit options and must always be installed by a trained HVAC technician. They also require space outside for the unit to be installed and a hole to be drilled in the wall to connect it to the inside of your garage.
If you have a standard-sized window in your garage, a small, lightweight window unit might be the right solution. These units can be installed quickly and are a very affordable option for most garages. Window units are noticeable from the outside, which may be a drawback for some homeowners. They work by sticking out the window to eject hot air and condensation without needing ductwork and plumbing. These units can be convenient because of their small size but are often noisy when turned on, which can be bothersome for some people.
Portable units typically only provide heating or air conditioning, depending on the type. Portable air conditioners are the easiest to set up as they only need to be plugged into a normal outlet to begin working. These units are not permanently installed, making it easy to store them away during the winter when not in use, and can be moved around your garage wherever you need them. Portable air conditioning units are not as efficient as other options like the ductless mini-split but are much more affordable. These units also require an exhaust pipe that has to be vented outside and typically includes a basin that collects condensation that will need to be drained occasionally. This aspect of portable air conditioners can be inconvenient, especially for those in humid climates.
