The way higher insulating value of such an installation will definitely have a reasonable payback period compared with the limited options you could do other wise. Your personal tax expert could also advise you of energy tax credits available to sweeten the project cost. Once the framing is in place you can add electrical outlets, water lines, air lines, whatever, prior to the foam operation. From an appearance standpoint this is also a win-win situation as no external changes will be obvious to your tax assessor. Forget about the attitude that it is 'only' a garage/workshop'. For the hours you will spend there, there is no common sense reason not to have heat and AC. My little 26' x 26' shop is heated/cooled and there is no way I would do otherwise. Projects get done more quickly, tools don't rust from excess humidity and list goes on. The shop is a major utility at our house, like laundry. And a money saver to boot. > snip< Joe Debes registrarte antes de enviar mensajes.
