You’re enjoying a cool night as you snuggle up on the porch with a warm cup of cocoa. Summer is long past, and the air is getting colder.
As the temperatures start to drop, you may be thinking about how to keep your garage warm during the winter months. Luckily, you can do a few things to ensure your garage is cozy all season long!
1. Keep Your Garage Door Closed
This one seems like a no-brainer, but it’s worth mentioning! Keeping your garage door closed will help to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. If you have an attached garage, this is especially important to keep your home heated.
When you need to open your garage, be sure to open it just long enough to get your car in or out. Then, close it as quickly as possible to keep the heat from escaping.
2. Keep Your Garage Insulated
If your garage isn’t already insulated, now is a great time to add some insulation! Insulation is important if you have a window in your garage. You can insulate your garage door or walls, or both! This will help to keep the heat in and the cold out.
Neighbor.com has a helpful guide to garage insulation. As you’re planning your materials, useHome Depot’s calculator to correctly measure the materials you will need.
To feel fully confident in your garage’s insulation, you can also hire a professional company to take care of the whole job.
3. Hang Heavy Curtains Over the Doorway
Another way to keep the cold air out and the heat in is by hanging heavy curtains over the doorway between your garage and your home. This will create an extra barrier against the cold air.
If you don’t want to hang curtains, you can also try hanging a blanket or towel over the doorway. Just be sure it’s not too light, or it won’t do much to keep the cold air out.
4. Use a Space Heater
If you spend a lot of time in your garage, you may want to consider using a space heater to stay warm. Just be sure to read the instructions carefully and place the heater at least3′ away from any flammable objects on all sides.
Space heaters should always be unplugged when not in use. If you have pets or small children, be sure to keep the space heater out of their reach.
When used properly, a good space heater should help you keep warm while you’re in your garage warm all winter long!
5. Protect Valuables from the Cold
If you have any valuable items stored in your garage, it’s important to take steps to protect them from the cold weather. Consider storing them closer to the door or investing in a storage container that has insulation built-in.
Conclusion
By following these tips, you can rest assured that your garage will be warm and comfortable all winter long! Just remember to take precautions with space heaters and keep an eye on valuables that could be damaged by the cold weather.
