Getting a Garage Furnace, What Kind and How Big
Purchasing a garage furnace may aid you in making your garage a comfortable area of the house all year long. During winter months, especially in colder climates, garages can be uncomfortable and the coolness may damage stored items. To protect against freeze damage and to make your garage a more widely used area during the winter, invest in a garage furnace.
A garage furnace is especially helpful if you have a workshop, recreational room, or living area adjoined with your garage. Wood burning and gas fueled garage furnaces are the most common. For a wood garage furnace be sure the purchase one that burns cleanly.
There are several precautions you should take when shopping for a garage furnace; the most important being to not get one that is too big. Most retailers of garage furnaces have a table to serve as a general guideline to tell what size fits your garage.
The size of the garage furnace depends on your garage construction style, location, number of door and other factors. You could also have a professional contractor calculate the heat loss of a garage to determine the right size furnace. You will also want to find a furnace that is certified for in home use because there are several possible dangers of using any others.
