Al,

Never heard of one. Will check. However, I am having a 30'Wx30'Dx16'H shop built out back finally. It's as big as I can go, and will be plenty w/a 2-post lift also......and will have heat and A/C!!!!




what are the operating costs for a mini-split after the installation ?
beer



The are cheap to run. Ac works wonderful and heat is amazing when temps are above 40 but The problem you'll have if you live up north is that once it gets under 30 it costs a lot to heat and even with the best ones once it gets to zero can't heat. Just like heat pumps sub zero units have an electric heater strip to provide heat.
