The telltale signs of fall/winter are here: the early morning chill, the leaves turning brown, and the winter coats coming out of storage. Edmontonians are preparing for the chilly months, hunkering down to keep the warm in and the cold out.
However, one space that often gets left in the cold is the garage. Whether you’re tired of starting up your car in advance for the morning drive or want to make the most of your home’s space, installing a garage heater can expand your home usage and comfort this winter.
Why Install a Garage Heater?
Many homeowners don’t use their garages to their full potential because they become an ice box for almost half the year. Imagine using your garage as an extra workspace, incorporating a DIY bench, or creating an impromptu hockey training space for your kids. A garage heater opens up all kinds of possibilities for your home during the fall/winter.
- Home Comfort
For many homeowners, the garage is more than just a place to store vehicles. It’s a workshop, home gym, or even a hobby space. A garage heater ensures that this area can be used all year, no matter how frigid Edmonton gets. You don’t have to start your day with a cold car or abandon your favourite projects during the chilly season.
- Protect Your Vehicle and Belongings
For car owners, a garage heater offers peace of mind. Extreme cold can wreak havoc on your vehicle, leading to dead batteries, frozen fluids, and rust from road salt. A heated garage protects your car and keeps all belongings you store in it safe from the cold.
Additionally, if your garage is attached to your home, there’s a good chance you’ve got water pipes running through the walls or ceiling. When those freezing winter temperatures hit, your plumbing becomes vulnerable to the freezing weather, leading to breaks, leaks, and many problems. Keeping your garage warm and above freezing will protect your pipes and avoid costly repairs.
- Energy Efficiency and Savings
Modern garage heaters are designed with energy efficiency in mind, saving you money in the long run. By maintaining a controlled temperature in your garage, you can reduce the strain on your home’s heating system and enjoy long-term energy savings.
- Easy Maintenance
With advancements in home heating technology, garage heaters have also seen significant improvements. Modern garage heaters are more compact and easier to maintain. With Ignite Heating and Air Conditioning’s expert technicians, you can rest assured that your only concern will be deciding how best to utilize your newly heated space.
