Seeking opinion on needed size of A/C unit for husband's shop. Please tell me what we need: 6,000... 8,000 or 10,000 BTU's.
Online calculator says square footage is just a hair more than than recommeded for a 6,000-8,000 BTU machine (small shop at 414 sq. ft., it is an old hog house)...so it is recommending a 10,000 BTU unit.
BUT I am wondering... would a 6,000 window unit actually do a good job at both cooling and removing moisture? [*Note: willing to spend more on an 8K or 10K BTU A/C if needed - but don't want to get too large a unit as then it may not run enough draw the moisture out of the air. Do not want a cold but damp shop. Plus smaller units are lighter for handling purposes).
Wondering because of the following factors:
1. Ceiling height is only at 7 feet (so this means less cubic feet than a taller building). 2. Ceiling and walls are well insulated. 3. Most windows that face the sun are shaded by two open lean-to's that we added on for shade on south and west of the building. 4. There is also a very large shade tree just west of the shop - so it protects from much of the late afternoon sun.
