Nice looking shop. When I built my shop I included a office area and installed a mini-split as it get miserably hot here in west-central TX and it works great. So... 2 years ago I put a 5 ton in my 2k sq. ft. shop for those really hot months. Figuring I had 2"-3" of closed cell a 5T would have a little reserve. Turns out that is not the case as it can't keep up on really hot days, In August of the first year I set it on about 76 and enjoyed it until I got my power bill for $972. Now, I only use it when I'm in the shop constantly and it is necessary.
