In the end the AC unit installed cools the garage workspace quite well. I the unit I bought was the biggest 110 volt unit I could find. I wish I had gone with a 220 unit. On the average summer day it will cool my garage nicely. On the 100 degree days if I start the unit in the morning it will keep up just fine. It does get overwhelmed on a 100 degree day when my wife and I both drive home from work with cars that have been outside all day. Two hot engines in an already hot garage the AC just never really make things cool, but I will tell you that inside 30 minutes it is way better than without AC. Just the de-humidified cool air blowing on my workspace makes things acceptable and I can work out there without sweating. I do have three ceiling fans over the work area.
