Unpractical Types of Garage Heaters
There are a few types of garage heating that aren’t practical for long-term use, mainly due to safety reasons. Some of the following unsafe options include:
- Extending your home heating system’s ducts. There are too many negatives with utilizing this type of heating source for your garage. Essentially, it increases the risk of carbon monoxide from a vehicle along with other harmful garage fumes and dust coming into the home.
- Portable electric heaters. A small electric space heater is not an effective option for heating a garage space during the winter months. However, if this is what you decide to use, keep in mind it must be kept away from any flammable materials.
- Portable propane, kerosene, and oil heaters. These types of heating sources are regularly used in garages, but aren’t ideal. Homeowners are still exposed to the harmful fumes emitted from these types of heaters despite having standard garage ventilation.
Adding wall and ceiling insulation makes garage heating far more effective
Adding insulation to your garage walls and ceiling makes a huge difference when effectively heating your garage space. All of these heat-absorbing measures will improve your home’s energy efficiency during the year’s cold months even if you are not utilizing a garage heating unit. Your home during the spring and summer months will also benefit from garage insulation when your home’s air conditioning is on.
If fully insulating your garage isn’t financially possible at the moment, we suggest trying to add wall insulation to any of the garage walls that, do the next best thing. Try to at least add wall insulation to any garage walls that attach to your home’s interior walls. Ask us about the garage insulation services we provide at Pharo Heating.
Don’t forget insulation for your garage door
When insulating your garage walls and ceiling, don’t forget about your garage door. Generally, older garage doors lack any insulation features, which contributes to heat loss. Old garage doors may also not give your garage the best protection from the elements due to factors that come with age, such as warping and other kinds of damage.
Adding insulation to your existing garage door is one option. A more assured way of maximizing your garage door’s energy efficiency is to upgrade to a new garage door. The modern and stylish garage doors from our steel or wood garage door collections gives you plenty of insulation options.
