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.

My walls have 1.5" pink foam board between the girts and 5.5" fiberglass wool over that with the white vapor barrier you see in the pics. The ceiling has 24-32" blown in fiberglass.
I need to heat for 6-7 months, so that is the big factor for energy consumption. The A/C is only for when I will be out there also.
