Thinking of putting one in a detached garage with insulated door and walls.
Anyone have experience with these here in houston? Price? Installation? Where/who to buy from?
The garage already has a window unit mounted in the wall but that doesn't provide heat.
Would be good for the dogs and to have a larger workout space, and when I don't need it running there are smart phone controls in some of the ones I was looking at.

We looked at these for our garage and got two estimates from HVAC companies, both close to $4,000 for unit and installation. However, we have a very big garage space.

Our contractor said he had one installed in a bonus room for himself and bought the unit on Amazon for under $1K and had a licensed HVAC guy install it for around $600-$800. So, if you can go the route of buying your own and getting someone to install it, that's something to consider.

Everyone told us that these units are relatively easy to install and will work just fine for a space of several hundred or even a couple of thousand square feet.

Trane, Mitsubishi, and Daikin make good ductless systems. You will have to search HVAC companies in your area to find a dealer.
