Your garage is likely very cold during the winter, especially if it is not properly insulated. Spending the time and money to make your garage another useful asset of your house is well worth it in the long run. After all, it is where you keep your vehicle, so you want it to be a safe and functional space. Here are some ways that you can improve the functionality of your garage throughout the winter months.
Evaluate Entry Doors
Look at the entry doors in your garage and make sure that they are weather-tight. This will ensure that warm air is not leaving your garage in the winter and cool air is not leaving your garage during the summer. If you need an extra way to keep your doors air-tight, try putting down rubber strips to create an air-tight seal.
Insulate the Ceiling and Walls
Another way to help keep your garage at a reasonable temperature is by installing insulation. This will help keep air where it is supposed to be. If you are insulating the garage walls, make sure that you do so carefully because of carbon monoxide concerns.

If your garage door is faulty, it can cause too much cold air to enter into your garage. This may cause further problems for both your garage and the things that you keep in it, including your car. Plus, it will lead to higher overall energy costs.
At the very least, you should inspect your garage before the weather continues to get colder. Please contact Roberts Garage Doors if you’re in need of garage door repair.
