Heating & Cooling A Single Room
Greetings,
I need to heat and cool a very small room that is going to be built from part of my single car garage. The room is for reloading ammunition and will also serve as my arsenol so the temperatrue must remain constant year round. The room will be no more than 250 sq ft (and that might be pushing it). My original plan was to install a window/wall air conditioner for summer and to use an oil space heater or an electric wall heater for winter. Is there a better option? Is there such a thing as a window/wall air conditioner that also heats in the winter? The garage is a stand alone building so running a duct from the house is not an option. Thanks, Aaron |

They are often used in screen rooms that are added on. -- Rich Greenberg Marietta, GA, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 770 321 6507 Eastern time. N6LRT I speak for myself & my dogs only.

Heating & Cooling A Single Room
Ideal heat for this would be to build a raised floor with insulation
below it and run hot water tubing below the finish floor. You could mount the heat boiler either in the room or out in the garage. Cooling by std window ac should be easy.

Thanks a lot, especially for the links. Sanyo or GE should do the job
great. ....No, I wouldn't keep my ammo with an open flame either. I'm talking about the oil filled space heaters that are electric and look like radiators. Thanks again! Aaron |
