We think much alike Roger.
My workshop is quite small, its partitioned off at the back of a two care garage, and I have an airconditioner and gas space heater in there. It heats up or cools down in minutes, and its a very comfortable place to be at any time of year.
In Melbourne we might get about four days a year where its 40+ Celsius, and my four airconditioners see very little use. I run my airconditioners from the grid, the big ones during the day, and a small bedroom airconditioner at night, always off the grid. The yearly cost of doing this is negligible as useage is so infrequent.
The small workshop airconditioner runs from solar during the day, which is the only time I am ever out there.
If its 40+ and the grid goes down, which it has done several times, I just find something to do out in the workshop.
