4 tons sounds small for 2,500 sq ft.
How does it cool now?
4 tons probably will not cool 3,100 sq ft.
It works great now. I guess back up option may be to just get a second mini-split for the new room.

Is this a basement garage, or is it on the main level and exposed more to outside walls? We have a 4 ton new unit we had installed last fall, similar size house but with 8 foot ceilings. There are a couple of vents in the ductwork in the basement/garage, but it typically stays much cooler than the house in the summer and warmer in the winter due to more than half of it being underground. You might be fine with some fans and adding a vent or two if yours is similar. The only time ours really gets hot down there is if we have the garage doors open in the summer time.
