Garages, often overlooked, can reach higher temperatures than attics, risking heat damage to stored items like electronics and paint. Damage occurs when items swell or spoil due to heat exposure. Increased garage temperatures can radiate into the home, forcing HVAC systems to work harder. Many garages contain flammable materials that can become volatile in high heat. Proper ventilation and temperature control are crucial. For those using their garage as a gym or workshop, excessive heat can lead to heat-related illnesses, emphasizing the necessity of maintaining a cooler environment.
"Most homeowners don't think of their garage as a space that needs cooling-until something goes wrong. Whether it's damaged items, rising energy bills, or an unbearably hot workout or workshop area, that's when the lightbulb goes off."
"We've seen batteries swell or leak, power tools get damaged, and pet food spoil. That's why garage temperature control is more than just a comfort issue-it's about protecting your belongings."
"Fortunately, proper ventilation and heat control can significantly reduce the risk of flammable materials becoming volatile in high heat."
"Heat stroke, dehydration, and heat exhaustion can all occur more quickly than most people realize, particularly in a room with restricted airflow."
