Solar Guys' advertisement mentions an exhaust ceiling fan to cool a hot garage. I also called Solar Lights and More, a similar opertation in the area who installed our solar fan in the roof 5 years ago, and they do not do garage ceiling exhaust fans. Based on someone's suggestion here, we have installed vents in the two lower corners of the garage door and we leave the trap door to the attic open 6". My guess is this has lowered the temp about 10 degrees in the garage. Next step will be insulation above the garage and insulating the garage door. That should lower the temp in the garage another 10 degrees.
