We all know Minnesota winters come with their share of inconveniences. But what if there was a way to make this time of year more comfortable for you and your family? A garage heater can provide that extra comfort to make winter more bearable. Plus, its benefits go beyond just warmth. Discover the advantages and efficiencies they provide below, then call your home comfort experts at S&R Heating & Cooling to talk about installation: 651-429-0001.

Protect Your Vehicles and More

Long, harsh winters have a major impact on the longevity of your vehicles. The same goes for any other equipment you store in your garage year-round, such as lawnmowers, trimmers, and snow blowers. By maintaining more consistent temperatures in your garage, you lessen the wear and tear on these items, resulting in better, longer-lasting performance and fewer repairs. You’ll never have to worry about your car starting again on those sub-zero days.

Increase Comfort

You don’t have to limit your usual garage activities in winter with the installation of a dedicated heater. If you spend time in your garage working on hobbies or fixing cars, you’ll love having that extra warmth—and the extra time to spend on activities you enjoy. If you don’t currently use that space in winter, a garage heater can provide an additional living space for your family to work and play.

Add Storage Options

Certain home maintenance items and products, like paint or other chemicals, can’t be stored in the garage during winter. When you add a garage heater, you increase your storage space, as all these items can be stored in a temperature-controlled environment. And if you’re concerned about a garage heater taking up extra storage space, don’t worry. They’re compact—and run quietly, too.

Help Prevent Frozen Pipes and Increase Efficiency

If your garage is attached to—and especially if it’s beneath—your house, a new heater will provide you with extra warmth. Your furnace won’t have to compensate for the colder air coming from your garage, meaning greater efficiency, too.

The same applies if you have plumbing pipes that run through your garage. Warmer temperatures decrease the chances of your pipes freezing—or even bursting.
