Great tips, I would recommend that you also close up the large gapping hole at the bottom of the door where that a/c unit condensation hose is run through, you will or have already had rats, snakes and other critters that are looking for food and comfort from the heat or cold!

I already have a portable a/c. It is nice. Toshiba. I have two cats that I put in the garage at night. I do not have a window in my garage. I am not sure how to do all this but I think I know a man at my church that has his own air condition business. I live in Arkansas and it get so hot in garage for my cats. This is great idea. Thank you for sharing.

So living in SoCal high desert the antelope valley I am really liking the insulation of the garage door thought about but glad to see another SoCal resident do it and show how and that it works

[tamarahallock]

I have a ceiling in my garage and planned on using it for tutoring and teaching art with the door open and a huge screen door, but, I was working in there setting it up, and I was sweating like a dog. So, it's not going to work. I plan to get the insulation for the door like you demonstrated and the swamp cooler should work well because I'm in high desert Idaho.

Cool tip fact: if people have their garage from the outside painted white their inside garage will stay 11 to 17°C/20 to 30°F cooler automatically compared to a darker colour garage because white is a great reflector of the sunlight that reflects 80 to 90% of sunlight meanwhile darker colours absorb more heat radiating it everywhere making it hotter and that something they are not going to want in hot climates so they need to go with white garages instead. On the other hand if they are in colder climates where they get mostly winter, then a darker colour or black coloured garage would be more acceptable because it absorbs a lot more heat to keep their garage warmer but if they get both summer and winter which basically most of us do then they all should get a colour garage that is between a lighter and darker colour to even out the temperature for all four seasons 👍. Great video by the way 😊

I see these insulation kits on Amazon for the garage. Are they safe? I hear they add extra weight on the door and may put stress on the motors, but then if that’s so, wouldn’t it have bad reviews?

[kennyslaughenhaupt]

I know what they weigh, I put it in my comment, I was a professional garage door installer for over 25 years it doesn't matter if they weigh 2 pounds or 12 pounds it's still changes your springs. It doesn't matter. That's what I'm trying to see people think it's okay but they don't get it you can't just add weight to a garage door

[benjaminmurphy]

Could you theoretically use those panels for the doors along the walls to provide insulation?

[Sagittate]

where can i find this insualtion for "a coupole bucks"?

[josephromero]

Thank u- I live in Antelope valley in Cali dessert and over looked insulting the garage door when trying to figure out why my $500 portable AC isn’t working very well lol

[chrisumali]

Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day

Adding foam to the door is a great idea
But there are things you need to consider when doing so
You do add weight to the door
And if you don’t have the right door springs for that added weight
The additional load will be put on your door opener
And either the springs fail or the door lift
Ask me how I know

[kennethcochran]

Thank you for this video. I’ll let my dad & step dad know about these tips. Some day, I’m hoping to learn these things.

You need to also cover the door to your roof vent for the winter. The crack around that door will suck out you heat in a flash. It’s like leaving your door open.

[BigCountryKracker]

Yeah ik a lot of people have it worse but during the winter I just can’t workout. I live in Mississippi and 30 degrees is way too cold for me to workout in, I can handle 90 hot tho

I realize that this is an older video, but when you said you were going to weaponize a robot vacuum i instantly subscribed.

[radhikaraj]

[Jay-rrjy]

Will one of these tips will keep stored canned goods from not going bad inside of a car garage?

[wysiwygbebe]

Great video! Thanks for making this. I am now going to Home Depot this weekend to insulate my garage before summer hits.

[BrendaGuzey]

Can you safely leave this heating system on 24/7 or is there a concern of a fire hazard like in space heaters?
