The Texas panhandle is known for hot weather, but it can get downright cold between late autumn and early spring. Homeowners who would like to use their garages for various projects wind up being driven back into the house because the structure is just too chilly for comfort. Commercia Heating Contractors La Plata, MD can help. These workers can design a garage heating system that’s efficient and won’t break the bank with utility bills while still creating a cozy place to engage in activities like woodworking and vehicle repair. Some individuals decide to turn part of the garage into a fitness center and need effective climate control much of the year.
The garage doesn’t have to be just a space where vehicles are parked and where lawn and garden equipment is stored. Heating systems can be modified or installed by Commercial Heating Contractors La Plata, MD in numerous ways. If this is an attached structure, one or two ducts could be extended from the home to the garage with a vent that can be opened and closed or capped off. When nobody is using the garage, it doesn’t need to be heated.
The main problem with this solution is it won’t effectively heat the entire garage, but instead a smaller space around the vent. The homeowner might use a space heater in the far opposite corner if more warmth is desired. A main advantage of this solution is that it will provide cool air from the central air system on hot days since heat and cool air are sent through the same ducts.
Standalone heating units also can be added, either mounted on the wall or suspended from the ceiling. These are especially suitable for detached garages, and they also can be installed in large garden sheds or metal buildings on the property. They run on a thermostat installed by the contractor or can be turned on and off as needed. Forced-air models work like a small furnace. Infrared tube heaters also are available. They are quieter but may cost more. Questions about various options, including pricing, can be asked of a contractor such as Olympic Aire Services Inc.
