I just use a window air conditioner in my garage, it works fine. I am in the same climate as you, so the temperature in the garage should be similar.

Yes, I think it is much cheaper for the T5-HO's, but I only have 2 fixtures for my 20 x 28 garage. The bulbs can be bought at your local electric supply. I need another fixture for the back, but the electricity cost is rather low. My friends that have T8 and T12, and they are always replacing them. The one with T12 has light strips all over his garage, but my garage is much brighter. Mine reminds me of working in Tool & Die inspection room in the past, it is rather well lit. I like it!

Heating system will vary with your climate and which state you are in.
