Air conditioners are an excellent way to cool your garage space. They work by pulling cold air from the outside and pushing it through the garage. The cold air circulates around the room and eventually cools down the entire space.
There are a few options for either a DIY or professional installation of an air conditioner in your garage. You can purchase an air conditioner rated for use in garages, or you can buy one designed for outdoors and then install it in your garage. The first option is cheaper than the second, but it also has drawbacks such as noise and energy consumption.
Depending upon the size of your garage, your garage wall insulation, and whether or not you have an operable garage door, the type of air conditioner you choose will vary. An experienced HVAC technician can help you navigate cooling capacity requirements, energy star ratings, and your home’s unique set of circumstances.
