It sounds like eating chili before working out there is the simplest solution, but how do I keep it cool?

Insulation helps for heating and cooling.
If you get serious about this I would get a small mini split. |

Those are $900?!
Arguably I should apply for an Amazon credit card first!

Get one for a real house and you can add a zero.
$900 for a Bosch (German) unit. You also have to consider total cost not just purchase price. Yes, a cheap air conditioner and space heater are cheaper up front but you will likely pay the difference every year in extra energy cost vs a high efficiency heat pump. That heat pump is 21 SEER while the typical window A/C is 11 SEER. Electric resistance heat is basically burning dollar bills for heat.
Mini-Splits are also super quiet - about 26 dB on low / 39 on high. A window unit is going to be 55-60 db.
Heats with air temperatures down to -12F / cools to 122F
Amazon has a bunch of no-name Chinese brands for about $600 - $700. Is a mystery brand without the 7 year warranty worth the savings? |

$630 would be 30% less.
I am pretty sure that people often cheap out to save 30%, but I am sure they eventually regret it.
I shop at Harbor Height too often, but I have also had tools break the first time that I used them.

Add a zero and multiply by 1.33 for an installed mitsu. 4grand for the components alone
Btw a bathroom heat bulb runs about 3/4 amp
