I live in Kansas City and work in a garage with 11 foot ceilings, a single and double bay, no windows, one wall is exposed to the outside, the other two butt up against the house, and the garage doors face north. Everything is as insulated and sealed up as I can get it.
Our temperatures easily range from 0-100 with lots of humidity. I have a dehumidifier which runs constantly from spring through fall and some during the winter.
I've been hesitant to add any heating or AC because I was unsure if I was staying in the house. But it seems like I will be, and the weather is such that I just don't do any woodworking for several months out of the year because it is too uncomfortable in the shop. It is either freezing or I'm sweating all over my tools in a garage that is over 105 degrees.
I'm thinking of installing a mini split. Good idea? Is there a better one? Recommendations as to brand, size? Installation tips?
