Hello,
We just recently moved to Arizona and I am wanting to set up shop in our new home (to be completed in April). It's a 3 car tandem garage and has roughly 750 square feet with 9 foot ceilings. There is insulation in the ceiling as well as the exterior wall and garage door. The other wall contains the door (one large 20' door) and the rest of the walls are shared with the home. I was thinking of cooling it with a mini split AC unit but I don't know much about them so I was hoping you could shed some light on them for me. My questions are as follows:
- What are the best, most dependable units to get (brand)?
- How many BTUs will I need to cool this space in the Arizona summer?
- How much should I expect to spend on the unit itself?
- How much should I expect to spend on installation?
- Is there anything I need to worry about in terms of wood dust and the unit itself?
- Anything else I should be aware of?
Really appreciate any help offered on this. I'm really clueless about this so I'm hoping someone out there is/was in a similar situation and can help me out here.
