Yes Bill, I put an 8500 BTU General Electric in that I bought from Brandsmart. It has the auto thermostat that shuts on/off automaticly as well as a remote control (needless!) My old unit was 7000 BTU I think and it has made it much cooler. The only extra work was replacing the metal shroud that was talked about earlier, conecting the drain ( a little bit of a headache) and redoing the cosmetic wood trim around the front panel. It was actually pretty easy. There was still some room left inside if I wanted to go bigger.
