Another Florida resident here. I have a 950SF garage/workshop, and after doing a lot of research, I have settled on the LG 42000BTU Cassette AC/Heat/Dehumidifier as part of my workshop overhaul. The outflow will mount in the ceiling from the attic over the garage, and the split outside the garage and well hidden. (My HOA will throw a fit if it is easily seen!)
Most people think that Florida is always warm, but we do see freezes in the winter, and ungodly heat and humidity in the summer. I settled on this system to insure a constant temp and humidity level that would match the house for wood that will end up there as finished products.
Here's the unit from an outlet I have trusted for years when buying large appliances...
