I would think that my un-insulated garage door has alot to do with this. I even place a fan in front of the AC unit to spread out the cool air.
Your garage is the same size as mine. Mine has a really high ceiling. About 18 feet if I were to guess. Insulating the garage door last summer really helped with the heat.

Now I'm wondering if I shoulda gone with the 12,000 btu unit.
