My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

"portable" heat pump

3 years ago

I was given a Whynter portable AC which I used last summer, and it works well. I was thinking about using it as a heat pump for my garage, but noticed that the instructions say that its minimum working temperature in heat-pump mode is 45F. Does that seem reasonable?
