Is your garage a second hangout?<\/p>\n
For many, it is.<\/p>\n
Or, do you just want to keep it warmer because you don\u2019t like to go out into a cold garage?<\/p>\n
The reason doesn\u2019t matter. The point is you want a warm and energy-efficient garage.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how to make that happen:<\/p>\n
1. Insulate, Insulate, Insulate <\/strong><\/p>\n If you want any chance of having a warm garage, the top thing you need to do is insulate.<\/p>\n This includes the walls, door, and ceiling.<\/p>\n Just like you would in your house, add shrink film over your windows.<\/p>\n You may need a professional for the insulation. It is a large project.<\/p>\n But, you can also do this yourself.<\/p>\n 2. Install a Heater<\/strong><\/p>\n You have a number of choices when it comes to heaters.<\/p>\n Forced-air heaters can be professionally installed to tie into your home\u2019s propane or natural gas system.<\/p>\n The problem is that they will blow air around which you will feel. Anything small and loose may also float around your garage floor too. That may be annoying.<\/p>\n Convection heaters use gas or electric as a power source. The major pro of convection heating lies in its ability to heat up faster than other heating options.<\/p>\n Ductless heating systems have the most efficiency. They\u2019re also easy to install because they\u2019re just a single unit.<\/p>\n 3. Generally Avoid Space Heaters<\/strong><\/p>\n While it\u2019s easy to buy a space heater and plug it in, one usually won\u2019t give you enough heat for your whole garage.<\/p>\n Space heaters also aren\u2019t nearly as energy-efficient as the other heating options just mentioned.<\/p>\n However, they can be just enough to do the job if you don\u2019t want to do all the work mentioned.<\/p>\n Just be aware of the pros and cons.<\/p>\n 4. Seal Cracks and Gaps with Weatherstripping<\/strong><\/p>\n Believe it or not, these are actually pretty easy to find.<\/p>\n Simply close your garage door and turn the light off.<\/p>\n Then look for light shining through anywhere in your garage.<\/p>\n Make sure you seal those heat-and-energy-efficiency sucking cracks and gaps.<\/p>\n
