Technology has advanced in many ways to keep you comfortable in your garage space when it’s cold outside. From smart thermostats to remote car starters to garage heaters, there are many ways that you can make Edmonton winter months more bearable. If you’re sick of getting in and out of your car in the garage, and it’s as cool as a meat locker, consider installing a quality garage heater for your home. Here are 5 benefits of having a garage heater this winter:
Top 5 Reasons To Get A Garage Heater - Heat your Garage to Stay Warm!
- Garage heaters keep you and your vehicle warm. A warm garage means a warmer vehicle. This will help preserve the battery life in your vehicle, increasing it's lifespan. It also reduces fuel and electricity consumption as you will no longer need to warm your vehicle up or plug in the block heater like you do when you park outside. It will be easier to keep your car clean and as a bonus, there will be no more sweeping snow and scraping ice off just to drive!
- They are safer for your household. If you park inside your garage, you should absolutely not use your remote starter even when it is cold, because of dangerous carbon monoxide emissions. Having a garage heater heat up your garage will keep your vehicle toasty and ready for the road while keeping your family safe.
- It's no secret that they are more affordable. The price range of a garage heater depends on how big the space is that you want to heat, and how quickly you want it to heat up. Garage heaters work with propane or natural gas and are vented with simplified side-wall or roof ventilation. Selecting an energy-efficient garage heater should not cause a notable increase on your utility bills, provided your garage is properly insulated.
- They have a compact design and are quiet. As technology advances, the size of garage heaters has been getting smaller and more efficient. There are several types of garage heaters that do no use ductwork, allowing them to be much more discreet and space-saving. Unit heaters provide spot heat, which is typically installed suspended from the ceiling which blows hot air directly downward. Garage heaters are operating quieter than ever. Hot Dawg® brand garage heaters by Modine are known for being “hush-puppy” quiet.
- They provide more year-round living areas in your home. If you ever wanted to use your garage as a shop, a man-cave, or even a place for the kids to rough-house around in, a garage heater may be for you! There are many creative ways that you can maximize space in your garage and create unique living areas. Another garage heater benefit: it will allow you the option of having an extra refrigerator in your home that you can use year-round.
