The wife wanted the basement finished. So as payment for my labor, we installed a two unit mini split. One for the basement, and one for my garage! I don’t use it continuously, but when I am working out there all day it is worth its weight in gold!With the intense summer heat, we put up blackout curtains in the garage. They do help and have kept the temps down about 4 degrees. The dehumidifier also helps maintain a more comfortable environment, but it's still warm, no matter how you slice it.

With my health conditions, I generally plan on any parts replacements and overall preventative maintenance over the fall/winter months, as it is cooler out there. I can detail the car year-round but try to do the upkeep during the cooler months of the year. Fortunately, I am pretty caught up with preventative maintenance on this lower-mileage gem.The wife wanted the basement finished. So as payment for my labor, we installed a two unit mini split.

Yes, it does. I have a fan that draws cool air from the inside of the house to the garage when I want to cool it off just a bit. The dehumidifier and that fan are a nice balance for the garage.That dehumidifier will add heat to the area. But might be worth it to keep humidity down.
