Did the builder do it right?

When a house is built, the common wall and ceiling between the garage and the home's living space should be air-sealed and insulated. However, builders sometimes skip this step. Primary Home Improvements can inspect your garage and correct garage insulation problems.

Since most houses have attached garages and therefore a structural connection between these spaces, there's also a thermal connection. If you have an attached garage, there's a good chance that insufficient garage insulation is compromising your comfort and costing you money, especially if you have a room over your garage.

Depending on how your garage is used and how your house is designed, upgrading garage insulation may have a big impact on comfort and energy efficiency in the rest of the house.

Garage insulation options for Ohio residents

Garages can cause your house to lose heat in winter and be a source of heat gain in summer. Cold (or warm) air infiltrates the garage ceiling assembly and makes its way to the living space above.

Insulating the garage ceiling

It's essential to insulate the garage ceiling if there is living space above the garage. Without garage ceiling insulation, the living space above the garage will be uncomfortably cold in winter and hot in summer. You'll be wasting energy nearly all year round.

Insulating garage walls

When the garage is attached to the house, the wall that separates the garage from the living space should be air sealed, insulated and finished with fire-rated drywall. Another option is the insulation garage walls with an injection foam called RetroFoam.

Insulated garage doors

There are two types of doors in garages: those for people and those for cars. A people-type garage door should be insulated and weatherstripped for energy efficiency, and rated for fire protection specified in local building codes.

When it comes to the larger garage doors used for cars, many homeowners choose insulated versions as well, either when a house is built or when replacing old garage doors.

Insulated garage doors have cores that are filled with foam insulation, and metal "skins" that are often textured and detailed to look like old-fashioned frame-and-panel doors made from a solid wood design.

Although insulated garage doors are more expensive than uninsulated "economy" versions, they're often well worth the extra investment. In addition to improving energy efficiency, the door's insulated core helps to prevent the metal surface from being dented and bent out of shape. Home insulation is very important to a home's overall comfort and efficiency.
