Have you ever stayed in your
garage for an extended period and realized how hot and humid it is, especially
during the summer? The problem is caused usually by insufficient or lack of
proper ventilation and having an attic directly above the area. The lack of
sufficient airflow in the garage and attic will make those places hot.
Installing a garage exhaust fan can
minimize that problem by improving the ventilation and ensuring proper cooling.
Newer models will quietly ventilate and cool the garage and attic.
Not just for cooling
Ensuring proper ventilation should
be a priority if your garage has gas-fired appliances. It also prevents the
area from becoming super-heated during summer. The garage exhaust fan will
make the space more comfortable to use. The ventilation will likewise remove
any fumes and chemicals generated by vehicles and protect the objects and
equipment you store in your garage and attic.
Quiet operation to avoid
disruptions
New models of garage exhaust
fans are more energy-efficient and quiet compared to older units. The reduced
operational noise prevents interruptions with your work while ensuring the
neighbors won’t complain whenever you’re in the garage and using the exhaust
fan. And with an energy-efficient fan, you can enjoy a cooler garage and attic
for extended periods without worrying about your energy bills. Just make sure
it’s of an appropriate size. Some of the best models run only with 47 watts of
power.
How does it cool your garage?
A ceiling-mount garage exhaust fan is
designed for garages with an attic above it. It takes only a single unit to be
installed and cool both areas simultaneously. Some fans have an innovative
‘bear trap damper’ that won’t interfere with the garage ceiling firewall to
keep your residence and its inhabitants safe and secure. Look for a fan with a
wireless RF kit for easy controls and an electronically commutated AC/DC brushless
motor with a 15-year warranty.
