Elevate your garage environment with the Mini Split for 2 Car Garage, a bespoke climate solution crafted for optimal comfort in dual-car spaces. This Mini Split System delivers precise temperature control, making your garage an oasis of comfort in any season. Its streamlined, ductless configuration allows for swift setup and effortless upkeep, marrying functionality with energy efficiency.

The most common size for a 2-car garage is approximately 20 feet wide by 20 feet deep, offering enough space for two vehicles and additional storage or workspace along the walls. For this size of garage, a mini-split system with a cooling capacity of 12,000 BTUs is typically sufficient for maintaining a comfortable temperature.
For larger garages or those facing higher heat demands, opting for mini split systems with greater cooling capacities, such as 18,000 or 24,000 to 36,000 BTUs, may be necessary to cool the area adequately. Additionally, prioritizing and assessing the mini split's heating capabilities is essential for maintaining consistency throughout all seasons.
Try our Mini Split Sizing Calculator to get the right size mini split for your 2-car garage. It looks at how well your garage is insulated, the garage area and height, and the weather where you live. Using the calculator helps you pick a mini split that will keep your garage comfy without being too big or too small.
Putting a mini split in your garage can be a good idea if you use the space regularly and want to keep it comfortable. It can also help safeguard your belongings from extreme temperatures and humidity. However, it might not be worth it if you rarely use the garage.
You can choose Mini Split systems from leading brands like Gree, MrCool, ACiQ, Stealth Comfort, EG4, and Buck Cool. Each brand has different models with features like cooling and heating power, energy efficiency, and extras like Wi-Fi or timers. This means you can find the right mini split to ensure your garage stays comfortable every season.

To properly size a mini-split for heating and cooling a 2-car garage, you’ll need to determine the square footage of your garage and consider factors like insulation and usage.
● Measure the length and width of your garage in feet and multiply to get the total square footage. For example, a garage that is 20 feet wide by 22 feet long is 440 square feet (20 x 22 = 440).

● The amount of insulation impacts the size of the unit needed. If your garage is well-insulated, you can get by with a smaller unit. Little or no insulation means you'll want a larger unit to effectively control the temperature.
● How you use your garage also determines the right mini-split size. If you only need to take the edge off the temperature, a smaller unit will do. But if you use your garage as a workspace or recreation area, you'll want a larger unit that can adequately heat or cool the entire space.
● For a typical 2-car garage (around 400 to 600 square feet), a mini-split in the 18,000 to 36,000 BTU range should work well for heating and cooling, depending on insulation and usage. It’s best to slightly oversize for maximum efficiency and comfort.
A 2-car garage typically needs between 12,000 to 36,000 BTU to properly heat and cool the space. The specific size you need depends on several factors like your local climate, garage size, insulation, and how much temperature control you want.
● If you live in a warmer southern climate, you'll want a unit with a higher BTU, around 36,000, to effectively cool your garage. Colder northern areas can get by with a smaller 18,000 or 23,000 BTU mini split. The unit will have to work harder to heat and cool a garage that's not well insulated, so factor that in as well.
● A standard 2-car garage is around 400 to 600 square feet. For a smaller 400-square-foot garage, an 18,000 or 28,000 BTU unit should work nicely. Larger garages, 500 to 600 square feet, will perform better with a 23,000 BTU mini split. The mini split has to heat and cool the entire space, so make sure you get a unit rated for at least the square footage of your garage.
● Think about how much temperature control you want in your garage. If you only need to knock the chill off in the winter or take the edge off in the summer, a smaller unit will do. But if you want to fully heat and cool your garage for use as a workshop or entertainment space, go with a higher BTU model. A more powerful mini split will be able to quickly bring your garage to your ideal temperature and keep it there.
