Default a/c unit

I have been in the a/c business for 30 years now. Goodman is one of the cheaper brands out there, but they will do the job if sized right. Be careful about oversizing. If you cool down a space to quickly, you can run into humidity problems. Alot depends on the size of your shop, how well its insulated and how you want to use the a/c. If humidity is not an issue, then you can cool down a space quicker. If you dont work out of your shop all the time and only maybe an hour or so daily, it will be ok, cause you can cool it down quickly when you are there and then shut it off. On the other hand, if you use it for a business everyday then i would suggest having a professional do a load calcultion. Everbody thinks in the a/c world bigger is better. There are so many variables involved to really getting the optimum effec. for the smallest elect. bill. Trust me, 76-78 degrees at 50-55% humidity feels better than 72 at high humidity. Good Luck.
