There is nothing worse than trying to work in a hot garage. Since most people store their tools in the garage, this is where you will want to be able to use them. By installing a Flex-Fan™ and intake vents into the walls of your garage, the built-up heat can be easily removed, making the garage a functional work area again. If wall intake vents are not an option, we can replace the glass in the panels of the garage door (if you have glass panels) with vents made from diamond mesh that is painted black. The idea of replacing only the glass with mesh is to make the installation invisible. The vents blend into the overhead door making the final installation very pleasing.

The fan of choice for this install is our Flex-Fan™ that can cool your garage and attic at the same time! To accomplish this, the garage must share a wall with the livable area of your home. Current building codes could require a firewall in the attic between the garage and the main house. Using what we call a Firewall/Draftstop Vent, we can safely push air from the garage attic by passing through the firewall, into the main home attic, and then out the vents located in the attic or roof above the main house.
The Flex-Fan™ provides the power to cool and ventilate your attic and garage by drawing in outside fresh air while exhausting the inside garage air into the space above. Then this attic air is forced out - under pressure - through your existing attic or roof vents. See the illustration below.
