We Agree Shoffer.
Our homes in WW and TV both had them so we assumed they came that way.
We're going to put a couple more in the TV home, any place there's ample storage and headroom above.

Back home in Md we installed them as soon as we moved in, and in the summer we pull them down to let warm air vent into the attic - as we don't use the AC at all.

Because garages get so hot in TV, and they are not 'under climate control' why there are not ceiling vents and more roof vents above.

We frequently pull down the stairs to let hot air rise out.

We joked about the garage:
"It's so hot in ere, we should step into the sauna to cool off"
