Even in the frigid Mid Atlantic, one of the first things we do when we get a home is add vents to the attic, wind-driven turbines in the barn and thermostat-actuated power fans in the home.
Most every TV home we have visited, ours, has a garage that is so hot we feel like going into a sauna to cool off!
The attic above the garage is hotter.
We use the AC at night if needed to bring it to 82 in the summer or heat in the winter to bring it to 60, so the HVAC systems do not see much action.
We still get hot garage and we keep the windows open.
Anyone know if there are any serious downsides to;
1.adding attic vents above the garage?
2.installing louvers (or leaving the stairs pulled down like we do here up north) and cracking garage windows for air to come in?
