Brian,
Yes it does, and their cost doesn't appear to be that bad, under
$1,000. I like
what Eric did, as my room over the garage is too cold in the winter and too
hot in the summer. Even though it's tied to the main Heat/AC ducts.

Probably, but my thinking was it would be cheap to replace the door in the
future if I had to.

That's the info I was looking for. I know of 2 people that have
them, and they
seem to like them. In addition to their ability to cool, I don't
know where I'd
put it when now in use.
