Garage door vents
I am considering putting a vent in the right and left lower corners of my garage door to reduce heat in the garage especially during the summer months. Will doing this really substantially reduce heat build up in the garage. For example, if the air temp is 95 will the vents keep the garage below 100 degrees. I have good venting in the roof and I plan to keep the retractable stairs to the garage attic down during the summer. Please let me know if you have experience with this.

My garage had the vents in the garage doors, door insulation, and the fan in the attic which pulled air thru the vent in the garage ceiling. I thought the system was a complete waste of money. All it did was pull hot/humid air from the outside. It is a west facing garage. If you want the garage at a comfortable temperature to be able to spend time in it the only good solution is to insulate the attic and garage doors, then add a mini split.

Added the vents in the door, insulated the garage door, added the garage to attic vents, and 2 solar attic vents. My attic temperature has dropped a huge amount and my garage is significantly cooler. I get a very nice draft running through the garage and you can feel the draft in the attic. They must have messed up my installation since it doesn't work for anyone else.

I have a fan and the two vents you speak of, and they work fantastic.. also try a auto roll down screen door .. the best of both worlds ( and of course get estimates) quality matters

Do Nothing. In a couple of years you won't care.
