Should You Air Condition Your Garage and How?

Should you air condition your garage? If you want to enjoy cool comfort in a Man Cave or a Mom Cave or a Teen Hangout, then maybe yes, but here are three things to consider.

Garages are by their very nature hot in the summer. If you have multiple uses for our garage, should you consider air conditioning? Here are 3 things to consider.

  1. Why not to Air Condition Your Garage. If you’re using your garage as a garage, air conditioning is probably not recommended. A garage is hot to begin with and you add heat every time you park your car in it. All the heat from that hot engine goes right into the garage along with the car. Hopefully, the things you store in your garage are not too heat sensitive and if they are, it would be easier to move them inside than try to cool a garage. Plus, garages are not known for their insulation. While some garage doors are insulated, most are not and that’s a big expanse to be heated by the sun and that’s another reason garage doors are hot.
