Whether you ventilate your garage with open windows or soffit vents, ventilation is important for your health as well as your garage&rsquo;s health, particularly when it is insulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below you will find several ways to vent your garage as well as each option&rsquo;s pros and cons, average cost, and how easy they are to install yourself. Federal regulations are also detailed as well as why it is important to ventilate your garage while also keeping the ventilation independent from your home.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-nutshell-cGQIC wp-block-lazyblock-nutshell\"><p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e7d1b1;color:#575f60;font-size:18px\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\" class=\"wp-image-3497\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png 600w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11-300x75.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\" class=\"wp-image-3497 eager-load\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20200%2050'%3E%3Crect%20width='200'%20height='50'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png.webp 600w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11-300x75.png.webp 300w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><br><strong>An insulated garage can be passively ventilated using windows, soffit vents, or passive wall vents. Active ventilation (more effective) can be achieved via window fans or wall- or ceiling-insert exhaust fans. Garage venting is recommended but not required.

Windows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ventilating your garage with windows is a great example of natural ventilation, meaning that air circulation is done through natural processes rather than mechanically. The goal of natural ventilation is to move hot air out of the home and cool air into it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DIY installation of windows is not overwhelmingly complex but doing it by yourself can be especially difficult due to the size and weight of windows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Garage-interior-garage-windows.jpg\" alt=\"Garage interior; garage windows\" class=\"wp-image-10880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Garage-interior-garage-windows.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Garage-interior-garage-windows-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Garage-interior-garage-windows-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Garage-interior-garage-windows.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Garage interior; garage windows\" class=\"wp-image-10880 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Garage-interior-garage-windows.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Garage-interior-garage-windows-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Garage-interior-garage-windows-768x512.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Garage-interior-garage-windows.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cost\">Cost<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To install just one window (for example, a double-paned, vinyl, casement window), the cost would be about $390. Note that this only covers one window and ventilation of your garage would improve with more windows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pros\">Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Humidity is not only uncomfortable at high levels, but it can also damage machinery and other water-sensitive items that are being stored in your garage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ventilating your garage with windows is an easy and money-saving way to mitigate humidity in your garage. Continuous airflow through opened windows can decrease humidity levels without the initial and energy costs of a dehumidifier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As windows do not use energy or mechanical parts like an HVAC system would, they cost much less to operate. Windows require little maintenance, so you should only have to pay for their initial installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cons\">Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If the outside temperatures are above a comfortable temperature, for example, if you live in a warmer climate or if you experience warm summers, opening your windows will not cool down your garage, but instead let warmer air in. This air will be fresh but will cause your garage to be even warmer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opposite also holds true for windows in your garage. If you live in a colder climate or experience cold winters, opening your windows will make your garage even more uncomfortably cold. Windows are not perfect seals and cold will leak in, even if you never open the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaving windows open can also let in various pests, from insects to rodents, especially if your windows don&rsquo;t have screens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As garages often have storage shelves, machinery, and garage doors taking up their walls, it can be difficult to find a place for a window.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-window-fans\">2. Window Fans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The passive movement of air through windows is not perfect for ventilation. If the goal is to cool your garage down, opening your windows to a cooler outside can let cool air enter and warm air exit, but the process is not perfect and can be expedited by window fans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way they do this is by changing the direction of the fan blades to push air out or bring outside air in. Pushing air out of your garage isn&rsquo;t necessarily for temperature control, but is beneficial for circulating stale, odorous, or contaminated air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing a window fan yourself is very possible and quite simple. The process is fairly self-explanatory and shouldn&rsquo;t even require tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have selected the following fan as the top pick in our <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/best-bathroom-window-fans\/\">curated list of bathroom window fans<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-amazonblock-Z2YUvT wp-block-lazyblock-amazonblock\">\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal aawp-product--css-adjust-image-large\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B08LYK1FJS\" data-aawp-product-id=\"8092\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"hvacbuzz-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"HUGOOME Exhaust Shutter Fan 300 CFM 2 Direction Reversible Strong Airflow Wall Mounted Vent Fans Ventilation Blower for Bathroom Attic Window Basement  8 inch \/ 110V\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08LYK1FJS?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" title=\"HUGOOME Exhaust Shutter Fan 300 CFM, 2 Direction Reversible Strong Airflow Wall Mounted Vent Fans, Ventilation Blower for Bathroom Attic Window Basement (8 inch \/ 110V)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41X7fA5qEbS.jpg\" alt=\"HUGOOME Exhaust Shutter Fan 300 CFM, 2 Direction Reversible Strong Airflow Wall Mounted Vent Fans, Ventilation Blower for Bathroom Attic Window Basement (8 inch \/ 110V)\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41X7fA5qEbS.jpg\" alt=\"HUGOOME Exhaust Shutter Fan 300 CFM, 2 Direction Reversible Strong Airflow Wall Mounted Vent Fans, Ventilation Blower for Bathroom Attic Window Basement (8 inch \/ 110V)\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\">\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08LYK1FJS?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" title=\"HUGOOME Exhaust Shutter Fan 300 CFM, 2 Direction Reversible Strong Airflow Wall Mounted Vent Fans, Ventilation Blower for Bathroom Attic Window Basement (8 inch \/ 110V)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            HUGOOME Exhaust Shutter Fan 300 CFM, 2 Direction Reversible Strong Airflow Wall Mounted Vent Fans, Ventilation Blower for Bathroom Attic Window Basement (8 inch \/ 110V)        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n            \n                            <span class=\"aawp-product__price aawp-product__price--current\"><\/span>\n            \n                    <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--blue rounded shadow aawp-button--icon aawp-button--icon-white\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08LYK1FJS?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" title=\"Buy on Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Buy on Amazon<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n<p class=\"aawp-disclaimer\">Last update on 2024-04-09 \/ Affiliate links \/ Images from Amazon Product Advertising API<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<p>While marketed as a bathroom fan, you can still use it in the garage.

This can lead to a variety of problems, including:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>In the winter, cold can leak through the imperfect seams of the window fan and through the fan blades.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Pollen, dust, and odors can also be brought in by your window fan, even if your window is protected by a screen.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On the rare occasion that someone is trying to gain access to your home illegally, window fans could, unfortunately, make break-ins easier. If your window fan is not securely latched to the frame of your window or the window itself, an intruder may be able to enter your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike venting with windows, using window fans requires electricity and will impact your energy bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-passive-wall-vents\">3. Passive Wall Vents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing passive wall vents boils down to cutting a hole through your garage wall and installing two vents connected by some duct pipes. These vents provide a route for garage air to flow out and external air to flow in. The vents are passive, so the direction of air movement is dependent on relative temperatures and pressures inside and outside as well as wind speed and wind shielding structures. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"595\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Passive-Wall-Vent.jpg\" alt=\"passive wall vent\" class=\"wp-image-12676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Passive-Wall-Vent.jpg 595w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Passive-Wall-Vent-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Passive-Wall-Vent-335x211.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Passive-Wall-Vent-347x219.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Passive-Wall-Vent-520x328.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"595\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Passive-Wall-Vent.jpg.webp\" alt=\"passive wall vent\" class=\"wp-image-12676 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Passive-Wall-Vent.jpg.webp 595w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Passive-Wall-Vent-300x189.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Passive-Wall-Vent-335x211.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Passive-Wall-Vent-347x219.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Passive-Wall-Vent-520x328.jpg.webp 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Passive-Wall-Vent.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Wall vents can be installed by DIYer&rsquo;s without help but the process is a tricky one.

This cost greatly depends on the manufacturer and the quality of the venting system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pros\">Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As wall vents can close completely and are insulated well, unlike windows and window fans, wall venting allows little pollen, dust, and odors to enter from outside.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This also means that leakage of cold air during the winter is much less of a problem, especially if your energy bills are rising due to heating your garage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wall vent openings can be adjusted to stop, decrease, and increase airflow. This makes the venting process more customizable than for window and window fan venting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without moving parts, passive wall vents, once installed, will only need to be maintained; they do not require electricity or another power source to function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cons\">Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Being passive, they are reliant on uncontrollable factors to function. Things like wind speed and external temperatures cannot be adjusted to ensure optimal ventilation, so the quality of the air exchange between the garage and outside fluctuates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of installing a wall venting system requires drilling into the walls of your garage. If a mistake is made or you decide to remove your wall venting system, repairing your walls to match their original appearance is not an easy feat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-wall-insert-fans\">4. Wall-Insert Fans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A wall-insert fan is a simple mechanical way of ventilating your home. It consists of an intake vent on the inside of your home and an exhaust vent on the outside, making this a mostly one-way venting process, similar to the range hood above your stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installation of wall-insert fans is very similar to that of wall vents.

This includes odors, pollen, and dust.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that wall-insert fans are also less likely to allow the infiltration of freezing air in the winter than wall vents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Garages can be dangerous places because of their contaminated air. Exhaust ventilation means that contaminated air will be quickly removed from your garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cons\">Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One aspect of keeping the air in your garage, as well as your home, safe and fresh is allowing outside air to replace stale inside air. An exhaust system does not allow this and the air will be pulled from any place that it can be. Sometimes this is outside; other times it can be from the ceiling, crawlspaces, and adjoining rooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are not opening your garage door to allow fresh air in, the air quality of your garage may suffer with this system in place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-ceiling-insert-fans-with-ducts\">5. Ceiling-Insert Fans With Ducts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ventilation done through the ceiling and through ducts is very similar to wall venting but in this case, there is more flexibility as far as where the exhaust vent will be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As venting through the ceiling requires ductwork, DIY installation would be very complex.

For example, when the exhaust is vented in an area that is often occupied or if the homeowner would rather not drill through the walls of their home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the fact that hot air rises, a ceiling intake vent is ideal for removing hot air from your garage.
