If you have natural gas, then you could use one of the new ventless high efficiency units which simply mount into the wall for your heating needs.  Little space and it works well.  Put one into my friends place without any code issues.  For AC, have them put in a high space for a window unit and permanently mount the unit.  This seems a lot cheaper than a full separate system. 


We had an addition put on a couple of years ago and there is a 3 car garage under a family room.  We had to have a separate system put in for the room because of the additional cubic feet (10K).  They located the system in the garage in its own separate sealed space about 4 feet off of the floor.  All of the ducts run in the floor and it would be really easy to cut into the ducts simply to blow air into the space.  I haven't done this since the temp in the garage during the summer with 100 degrees outside is around 80-85 until I open the doors and during the winter, I can use a portable electric heater if I want to work on the cars.  Maybe one of the gas heaters in the future.
