Garage heaters aren’t often something homeowners think about, but they should. They offer a range of benefits for your home and its residents and could even help make your mornings a little better. Frisbees in Sioux Falls delivers expert garage heater installation services so you can start reaping the benefits sooner.
Choosing the Right Heater for Your Garage
There are multiple factors to consider when deciding the right garage heater for your home.
Gas or electric garage heaters are your best options for safety purposes rather than propane heaters. It’s also preferable to avoid gas and electric space heaters and radiant heaters. They can set the scene for a dangerous situation if they’re near standard garage items, such as wood, paint, and fuel.
The cost of the heater is important, but its size is even more so. A garage heater that’s too small won’t properly heat the space, and one that’s too large can short-cycle. If the heater isn’t working efficiently, it’s wasting money, affecting your peace of mind, unnecessarily increasing your utility bills, and causing uncomfortable temperatures. That’s why it’s crucial to obtain a free on-site estimate to ensure the appropriate unit size is selected for your particular project.
A gas heater will often be costly to install upfront but is usually more cost-efficient if you use it often. Electric heaters are the opposite. They’re typically the more affordable option of the two installation-wise but often require higher ongoing costs. Proper ventilation will also need to be a significant consideration with gas garage heaters. You may have full control over your thermostat settings, depending on which gas or electric garage heater you choose.
Regardless of which option you buy, professional installation is important. Frisbees can help you choose the best size garage heater for your space, ensure it’s safely installed, and provide guidance about its operation.
Benefits of Having a Garage Heater
One of the biggest benefits of having a garage heater is that it helps create additional living space that you can use year-round. Rather than your garage simply being a place to put your car and items you don’t want in the house, you could use it to hang out with friends, work on projects, or establish a remote work area. The room(s) above the garage will also be a little warmer because heat rises.
Another perk is that your car won’t be as chilly during cold winter mornings. Instead of freezing when you get into your vehicle, it can feel a little more comfortable and bearable.

FURNACE TIPS
From Frisbees
We recommend you have a maintenance check on your furnace done annually. We start doing these types of checkups in the fall, but there really is NO bad time during the season to get your unit checked. It may also be a requirement of your equipment’s warranty.
There could be several different reasons for a unit that won’t kick on. If your furnace clicks but doesn’t fire, that could be an ignition malfunction issue. It’s best to call a professional to help diagnose why your furnace won’t start.
There are a few things you can easily check at home to see if you can correct this issue yourself. First check the thermostat setting. Make sure it’s on HEAT, then check the fan setting. Switch that setting to “ON”. If you have the fan on auto, the fan will run all the time even when it’s not on a heating cycle. Check your filter! If you have a dirty furnace filter, that is going to restrict the air movement through your system. Which could cause your issue. Check/change your filter every 3 months if you have a 1″ pleated filter. If none of these at home fixes are the reason your system is blowing cold air, it’s best to call a professional.
