There is a pleasant solution! My 1800 sq ft insulated shop is cooled by a 5
ton A/C unit
which sucks the moisture level down
to as little as 10% on my cheap humidity meter.
I only run the A/C when I'm in the shop; 40-50 hours a month but it stays
very dry. Not only
have I no condensate in the compressor, I stay comfortably cool! Since I
only run the shop unit about one 15th of the time I run my home unit, (720
hours per month) it's very affordable, under $100 per month for 4 or five
months of Texas summer. Tony
