Thanks for the replies. I appreciate the help.
In a turn of events, I am going to have to replace the home furnace/ac setup. The heat pump setup (16yr old) unit was "hotwired" to only run "emergency heat" ... heat pump doesn't work at all...among other discoveries.
The idea then came to buying a big enough Furnace/AC to heat/cool the house and garage (along with adding pipe for another vent) and the installer said its no problem.
1600 sq ft home: $6756 was the quote for all new setup with extra vent installed in garage. I was told "High Effeciency 95% 16 seer" and something about an "ECM"
More questions of a whole nother ordeal
What should I look out for on this new setup, as far as specifications?
Is this a fair cost?
I read online in a few places, that vents in the garage are a bad idea and they don't do it after homes built after 00...? (car fumes, fuels, no returns etc)
