How to Cool Down Your Garage

If you are faced with a hot garage when you walk in there are a few ways to cool your garage space. The first thing you should do is to open your garage door to allow air to enter your garage. If you have a garage with windows, open these too to allow air to circulate. Another option is to set up a powerful fan in your garage. Fans fitted to a window unit are quite effective but as long as you are allowing air to circulate it should help cool the garage space.
