A ventilated garage can also keep your home safe from carbon monoxide and other dangerous substances, keep your garage&rsquo;s flooring safe, and can save you money on energy bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take these pros of ventilating your garage into consideration when you are deliberating over whether or not you should close or seal your garage vents permanently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would still like to keep your garage ventilated but would like to do it in an alternative way, then it might be a wise choice to close or seal these garage vents in order to install a new system.

You can also use this to seal wall vents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like in the above process, you need to unscrew your vent cover, remove it, and then measure its dimensions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will then cut the drywall to fit this hole and then screw it into where the holes of the vent cover used to be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, in order for this patch of the ceiling to match the rest of the ceiling, you can apply texture and paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like the previous process, the goal here is that someone would not be able to tell that there was ever a vent on your ceiling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Texturing and painting might be unnecessary if your garage isn&rsquo;t as finished as a room in your home (which applies to most garages).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"leaving-the-vent-in-1\">Leaving the Vent Cover On&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As with the wall vents, if you don&rsquo;t want to make the ceiling look like there was no vent installed, you can screw the vent cover back on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An alternative solution, and one that is even cheaper than the previous ones (although I would recommend this more as a temporary fix), is to use cardboard as the barrier between the ducts and the vent cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may not look very attractive, but as this is a garage, aesthetics aren&rsquo;t as important.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this process, you must remove the vent cover, install a piece of cardboard that fits inside of the duct, and then use polyurethane tape to secure the cardboard in place. You would then put the vent cover back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"permanently-closing-sealing-soffit-vents\">Permanently Closing\/Sealing Soffit Vents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to close or seal soffit vents would be to replace the ventilated soffit boards with solid ones that are not used for ventilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process requires:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Solid soffit boards.
