During the warm weather, you probably use your garage a lot more when the winter rolls around, it can be more difficult to work outside. Why not plan now to get a heating solution together for this winter? The team here at Garage Door Repair of Tulsa has a few tips to choose the right heater for your garage.

Space Heater

A space heater is a simple solution to bringing heat into your garage. Unless you get a powerful enough heater, it may not truly heat the room, merely knock the chill off. That may be enough for your purposes.

You may consider plugging in more than one space heater if you have a two car garage. Put one on each side of the room to heat up the area faster.

Install a Wood Furnace

If you want to invest some money, you can have a wood furnace installed in your garage. This is ideal if you do woodworking in your shop and have scraps you need to get rid of. It is important to note that you shouldn’t burn treated wood because of the fumes it can put off.

Electric Heater

Baseboard heaters were very popular before central heat came on the market. These heaters are small and stay out of the way. Units like these plug into the wall and don’t require vent pipes or chimneys.

You will need to invest money upfront on these units, but they do not cost that much to operate. They make a great investment, especially if you live in a cold area.

Extend Your HVAC System

You can tap into your existing HVAC system depending on your unit. This will require you or a professional to run ductwork into the garage from the main unit. You should be aware that when you divert air into another part of the house, it can affect the output of the whole unit. Be sure to find out if your unit can support an extra room.

Seal the Garage

If you invest in heating systems in your garage, but you let all of the air out or cold air in, it is pointless. You need to seal up the garage, including the doors. If you can see light coming in from around the door, then you need to install weather stripping.

Insulation is another thing you will want to consider. If you do not already have an insulated door, you should consider upgrading or installing insulation on your existing equipment. You can purchase a kit for that, or have our team come out and do the upgrade.

They sent Doug Fussell out to my house on the day after Christmas! I had only called them three days before! Doug was a premier technician, very thorough and very efficient. I expected him to take two days, since he was replacing two doors and adding openers on each door. He only took the daylight hours of one day! I could not believe how fast he was! In addition, he thoroughly taught me how to use the remote openers. I highly recommend them to anyone!

We just bought a home and this company was so understanding as I had to change the appointment time a few times. Then the tech came out and was so kind and helpful. I could not have asked for a better experience and will suggest them to anyone who needs work done on their garage door!

My garage door broke on a Saturday night as I was getting ready to leave for a holiday party. Kelvin was here within 30 minutes. He reviewed everything with me that was happening with my door. He gave me the estimates of what was immediately needed to be done in order for my door to raise and then what I will need to have done very soon. I could see all the problems he pointed out to me and I decided to have everything done. He completed everything that night. I was very satisfied with Kelvin’s professionalism and the work he did. Thank you again.
