    Hey how do you size an A/C unit?
    The one I posted says "Portable 9000 BTU room air condition with electronic controls/display and electronic thermostat. Energy Saver model includes remote control. Self-evaporative system. Cools up to 300 sq. ft. room."

    The problem is, it will cost you $449.

    So, 30 BTU per SQFT

    So then, theoritically, you could run that without the condensation exhaust in an enclosed room, say, a garage? I'll be running to Sears here in a bit and see if I can't get some answers... this has my interest piqued!

    The pan would look like the pan underneath the current big AC unit in the attic... with a drain that runs out the overhang of the house...

    A 20' x 20' garage would be 400 s/f wouldn’t it?

    I've looked at those units Titus, you could vent it into the attic, and the one I looked at has a catch tray for the water. I'm just tooooo cheap for it!

    The overhang is a safety if you get water out of it you have a clog, the water from your home A/C should be plumbed to the drain.

    Yep... and the drain from the catch pan should empty some place VERY obvious... in my case, right over the patio door, so you know there is a problem.

    Plus, a unit this small wouldn't put out the amount of water that a whole-house unit would.

    Still will put out some water (H20). I put a window unit in at my mother in laws place on her enclosed patio. I was amazed at the quantity of water it put out and it was a pretty small unit.

    Ever notice how much water a car unit puts out? I get a nice sized puddle under the car after it has been shut off... I bet it is draining a few pints an hour while running.

    Good point...


    Beyond ducting into the garage from the existing AC unit (which really wouldn't be all that difficult in my attic), there has to be an easier way!

    I sure hope not, because I am reffering to the 3 month old Murano!

    The Miata is too low to the ground to notice a puddle under there.
