I want to put a combined heat and ac unit in my workshop,and am looking for brand advise as well as estimated expenses for purchase and installation costs.

The shop is a 35x50 foot Quonset hut with a 18 foot ceiling. Right now I am thinking a 250k btu rating on the furnace.

The shop is a 35x50 foot Quonset hut with a 18 foot ceiling. Right now I am thinking a 250k btu rating on the furnace.

For a house you get the best results at around 30 btu per square foot, which would mean a 60 btu furnace would work, but with your application I'm not sure if that holds up. Is this something where you want to maintain a constant temperature, or do plan to heat or cool it only when occupied?

I plan on keeping it heated to between 50 and 60 degrees all the time. Otherwise the heater will run non-stop for hours just to warm the place up to a comfortable level. There is a lot of stuff in there that have to get warmed up before the air temps in there warm up. Chances are I will turn it up to 65 unless I am doing bodywork or painting,and then I will turn it up to 70.

In the summer when it's real hot I will most likely do what I have been doing,putting the screen doors I built back in the tracks of my garage doors,and run the exhaust fans in each gable end during the daytime. I've been removing the screens and closing the garage doors at night,and let the exhaust fans blow out the hot air. Each one is rated to handle the air flow for a building this size,so the two of them working do a pretty good job. Once I get ac installed I'll just run it at night with the thermostat set around 74 if I'm not in there,and lower if I am. Since I have a full bath with shower and hot water in there,chances are during hot weather I will just stay out there all night working. If I get sleepy I can just hang my hammock and take a nap. I have a coffee pot,microwave,tv,computer,and refrigerator already out there,so it's not like it would be a hardship. I like working nights anyhow. It's quieter. Can't do it now in the summer because the mosquitoes and gnats will drive you crazy if you turn on the shop lights after dark. Even with screen doors in place. No matter what you do,if there is a light burning and the tiniest crack,the mosquitoes and gnats will find it and come in.

Plus,there is a bear that comes through my yard at night,and I don't want him smelling the cat food inside and coming in there to be with me.
