My 24 X 42 shop has a small house type oil furnace and central air conditioning unit, cost $970 plus $500 installation. I did the electric myself. Exhaust fan is 600 cfm unit from Lowes; installed that myself. My oil bill is $219 a year and electric is $17 a month (separate meter for the shop). For the amount of time I spend in that shop, that's a bargain. Plus, I can control the environmental conditions so my epoxy will cure properly.

It makes it bearable to work in the eastern NC heat and humidity. If you know someone who installs AC units you can probably get one very cheep or free.
