I see this unit isnt the greatest but will it be good for a single car garage?

I would definitely not use this device for a single car garage. I attempted to use it on my 30 foot sailboat..just is not strong enough to make much difference. Try a convention a/c unit, if possible. Randy/Key West

Is your garage fully insulated to prevent heat transfer? If so, the unit may work to keep one end of the garage cool if you were to blow it on you from a distance adjusted for comfort. You need to calculate the volume of air you are trying to cool compared to the unit's rating. If it is not large enough, you may need a larger size.

I doubt that this unit could do much in a space as large as a single car garage, even if the garage was well insulated.

Hi Matt, wish I had an answer for you. This was a gift for my beau who has not installed his garage system as yet. He will be soon however, so I will get back to you then.

Can't answer that exactly, but I can tell you that it's more than adequate for my single car garage which measures 22x12

I don't think it is big enough to heat a 2 car garage. I used it on my closed in porch that is over my 2 car garage (which has a large ceiling) and it didn't do a thing. It was in the 30 degree temperature. Just not big enough for that large an area.

I'm not sure exactly how you plan on using this for your garage. However, I had to install a mirror in my garage to be able to pull in and park two cars. I needed the ability to see the distance for the car pulling in vs the car that was already parked. To achieve this, I mounted a frameless wardrobe mirror horizontally at about bumper height to the garage wall. Now, when pulling into the garage, I can see how much room I have between the two cars.

It is a little too powerful for an RV. I'd look at a couple smaller units rather than this one big unit. We use it to heat our 3-car garage. In a small space it would be WAY too hot near the unit.

Yes, this would be perfect for you! The Picostation has excellent range. One thing: if your garage has metal siding, that can impact the ability to "see" the network.

I can't really say for sure. But the reason they say the garage isn't good is because they do not have heaters in them for sub freezing temps. If your garage is always above 50 degrees I would think any unit would be fine.

yes you should have no problem doing it that way.I put mine in my garage and it work great.

I believe that would be a question that you should contact General Electric about. My unit is installed in my garage and has worked out perfectly for me.

It will work well for that application. The sensor senses motion out as far as thirty feet at our house, so the lights should come on as you approach the garage. I suspect that being mounted a bit higher gives them greater range. We have been quite pleased with this unit.

I use it to keep my garage warm and even with the brutal winter that we've had so far, I've had no problem keeping comfortable. My intent was not to have the garage as warm as my house, but to keep it comfortable to work in. If you want this to heat a family room, then you'll have absolutely no problem doing it with this unit. I have the 3000 watt heater running on 240V. If you can, you might consider a smaller (1500W) unit with a supplementary baseboard heater. Likely a bit more economical to run. But to answer your question - yes, this unit will do a nice job for your family room. Hope this helps.

I would not recommend it unless it was outside in a somewhat sheltered area. Even then I wouldn't do it. It is perfect for a garage or indoor.

I suggest you see "installation notes for a two-car garage" here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2AZZ6GYOCFSGS/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B0008D6NK0&linkCode;=&nodeID;=&tag;=While per the other answers the 2-laser unit seems to work, I think there are advantages to using two single-laser units instead, stemming from the fact that they can be aimed completely independently of one-another.

I am not an electrician. All this unit does is provide the + side of power. The existing ground contact should be sufficient. I wired a car radio with this and it worked great.

Should do a good job. I added a fan above it so it would circulate quickly in my garage which is 450 sq foot. Never need it on high. I would insure there is some fresh air for the room for safety.
