As the season starts to get colder, it’s essential to make sure every part of your house has adequate insulation and heating. That includes the garage. 

A heated garage ensures your space isn’t compromised by cold air in the winter by trapping warm air to keep keep indoor temperatures toasty. 

Make sure your garage insulation is in-tact

Start by identifying areas in your garage needing more insulation. Garage doors are huge openings and potentially lead to heat loss if gaps aren’t closed properly. If the door is older, consider replacing it with a new insulated garage door to hold heat and keep out the cold. 

If you’re searching for a cheap option to maintain optimal heating in your garage, consider installing weatherstripping to the bottom of the garage door. 

Determining what your garage is used for will determine the heat source

Before purchasing an additional source of heat for your garage, consider what the area is being used for. If the space is pretty open, floor space heaters can do the job nicely however if floor space is limited, wall-mounted heaters will do the trick as they leave plenty of floor space. 

A propane heater can quickly warm up a medium-sized garage; however, moisture becomes more prevalent due to combustion. This heating source may not be a viable option if your garage holds metal tools, as the moisture can rust them. 

By following these steps, you can keep your garage toasty this season. Consider checking out your local home goods supply store to get all materials needed for your garage winterizing project.
