Summer in Texas is fast approaching and I need to start thinking about (or is 
it to late already?!) installing an hvac/heat pump system in the shop.

The shop is 25' x 65' with a 13.5' ceiling and 10' x 13' garage doors, one at 
each end.  Galvanized steel outside, 1/2" plywood inside.  Currently no 
insulation in the walls or the ceiling.  That situation won't be corrected 
until this fall at the earliest.  

We would like a heat pump arrangement to allow us to heat the shop in the 
winter as well as cool it in the summer.  

Any susggestions on what size, brand, style heat pump to use?  We would like a 
"single package" system installed outside with duct(s) running lengthwise down 
the center of the ceiling.  

A friend has suggested that we need about a 3 ton unit, possibly 4 ton at the 
most.  I know very little about hvac and can't tell if this is right or wrong.

I realize that with the lack of insulation we won't get optimal performance but 
some cooling is better than no cooling, right?!

Thanks!

Brad
