Heating the garage: the most economical way to warm up the room

With their own garage, men spend a lot of time in it. In the summer, there are no problems with heating, rather, on the contrary, it even remains cool there. But in the cold season, the question arises of how to heat the garage. Everyone tries to find the most economical way so as not to waste extra money on fuel or electricity.

Stationary heating option

We select garage heating (the most economical way)

Any car enthusiast knows that heating the garage helps to start the car easily in winter, and also creates comfortable conditions in the room for work and repairs. But at the same time, you don't want to spend a lot of money on such amenities, and it is not necessary.

Heating by a stove with the output of combustion products to the street

There are several common options for conducting heat into the garage:

Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on the location of the premises and the availability of fuel. To understand what type of garage heating with your own hands will be economical, we will analyze all the options in detail.

Autonomous waterborne option

Garage water heating is the most economical way to create comfortable conditions in the room if it is located in close proximity to the house or communications. Otherwise, you will have to invest in the water supply system, and this is economically unprofitable.

Installed radiator

The scheme of such a system will include a boiler, metal radiators with a high degree of thermal conductivity and connecting pipes. A closed system is mounted.

Water heating circuit

When designing autonomous heating, it is necessary to take into account the value of the diameter of the connecting pipes. By choosing a larger diameter, the room temperature will be higher, but at the same time, energy consumption will increase, so first calculate the balance so that heating is really profitable.

However, such heating is rarely found in garages, since it takes a lot of time to install it. The gas or solid fuel option is much more common.

Gas heating

One of the most popular options due to the availability and low cost of fuel. But there may be difficulties with the connection if you plan to crash into the central highway. Most often they use gas heaters or cannons, which are characterized by high mobility and a good speed of heating the room.

Heat gun option

An option for home-made heating in the garage with a gun will consist in installing a cylinder and the equipment itself, which are connected with special hoses. Affordable cost is an indisputable advantage.

The principle of operation of the gun lies in the flow of gas to the burner, where the combustion process takes place, and the released heat is distributed throughout the room using the built-in fan.There is also a drawback that is very noticeable in a closed room without windows - the need for ventilation, since the combustion products are not taken out into the street.

Catalytic gas heater

You can also use catalytic heaters, where the gas is burned in special comb, and the heat is evenly distributed, and 90% of harmful substances are neutralized. Or infrared, where a ceramic panel is used, which gradually gives off heat to the room, but ventilation is necessary.

IR gas heating

The last two options are used more often, in any case, profitable gas heating is obtained from fuel, but ventilation of the room lowers the heating temperature just as quickly. Thus, the use of such fuel is not the most profitable and convenient option for an enclosed space.

Electricity heating option in the garage

When a garage owner needs a quick heating option, the method of powering the heater from electricity is chosen, since in most cases, garage cooperatives have access to electricity, but inside there are counters used kW.

Even electric heated floors are installed in the garage.

The option of heating the garage with electricity is the most economical way when choosing the right equipment power for the room. It also gained its popularity due to its ease of installation.

Choosing stationary heaters, they are mounted in special niches and covered with protective screens on top. Such equipment is installed strictly according to the rules and in compliance with all safety standards.

Stationary infrared electric option

Most often they mount exactly IR heaterspowered by the network, since they can be mounted on the ceiling and you do not need to monitor the temperature of the working surface so that it does not overheat. The ceiling version is an excellent solution for heating the entire room, however, it is better to add forced ventilation in addition, since the evaporation of fuel under the influence of heat cannot be ruled out.

The advantage of such a system is that you can turn it on as needed. The downside is that electricity is quite expensive in Russia.

Working out for heating the garage

It is encountered infrequently due to the low reliability of the equipment, although the use of used machine oil has great material advantages.

Waste oil recycling oven and garage heating

Heat is released during fuel combustion in a small-sized unit weighing up to 25 kg. With each use, you have to adjust the combustion mode, since the composition of the fuel used is different. It is fashionable to buy such equipment (from 4 to 100 thousand rubles), but you can do it yourself.

Structural elements

It is also necessary to have a certain supply of water for extinguishing and cooling the installation. The resulting coke from combustion products that collects at the bottom of the furnace must also be removed periodically. And with a heavy load, black smoke will come from the chimney, so soot should also be removed from the chimney.

Do-it-yourself solid fuel stove for heating a garage: fast and cheap

Using wood firewood and a homemade small stove with a chimney is the most economical way to heat a garage. There are many ways to install such heating, consider a common option - a homemade potbelly stove.

Neat equipment option

For work, you need a sheet of metal or a finished barrel (piece of pipe) with a thickness of more than 5 mm. If you choose a pipe option, then its diameter must exceed 30 cm.

Table 1. Step by step instructions

What needs to be done	Picture
If you decide to use a sheet of metal, it can be bent into a square shape and welded. Weld the lid on top. In this case, the dimensions of the case are individual.
Mount the labyrinth at the top for the intake of thermal energy. This should be done according to a scheme that is prepared in advance.
You make a grate from a sheet of steel, drilling several holes in it with a diameter of up to 2 cm. Then, weld it to the pre-mounted supports in the stove.
Weld the bottom and fit the fuel loading hole. And also cut out an opening for the ash pan and assemble the structure.

This is the easiest way to build yourself. You can use improvised metal containers for the base of the furnace. It is only necessary to weld all the elements carefully, and also to think over the smoke exhaust system based on the design of the garage. You can buy ready-made options, for which you only need to build up the chimney pipe. For example, like this:
