Save energy & boost home efficiency with the garage insulation experts
Why make a fuss about energy-saving improvements in the garage? After all, this is just a place to park cars and store stuff like tools, bicycles, sports gear, and trash cans.
If your house has a detached garage, then there is truly no worry about garage insulation and its effect on the comfort and energy efficiency of the house. However, an attached garage that is poorly insulated can affect your home’s comfort — especially if you have a finished room over the garage.
If you want to improve your garage insulation, call the local experts at Pipe Works Services today. We provide complete insulation solutions for homeowners in Chatham, Madison, Summit, and the surrounding areas.
Did the builder do it right?
When a house is built, the common wall and ceiling between the garage and the home’s living space should be air-sealed and insulated. However, builders sometimes skip this step. Pipe Works Services can inspect your garage and correct garage insulation problems.
Since most houses have attached garages and therefore a structural connection between these spaces, there’s also a thermal connection. If you have an attached garage, there’s a good chance that insufficient garage insulation is compromising your comfort and costing you money, especially if you have a room over your garage.
Depending on how your garage is used and how your house is designed, upgrading garage insulation may have a big impact on comfort and energy efficiency in the rest of the house.
Where We Insulate & What it Includes
Our professional garage insulation solutions cover:
- Perimeter shared walls: The wall between the garage and the conditioned living space is critical—un-insulated, it’s a direct loss path.
- Ceiling above the garage: If there’s a room above the garage, insulating the ceiling prevents cold or heat transfer into those floors.
- Garage door and entry walls: A garage door is often the largest exposed surface—insulation or a retro-fit door kit helps significantly.
- Air-sealing and ventilation: We combine insulation with air sealing to block drafts and moisture intrusion—see our Air-Sealing service for full home envelope improvements.
Benefits of Upgrading Your Garage Insulation
- Improved comfort in adjacent living spaces: You’ll notice fewer cold spots, warmer upstairs floors and better overall heating performance.
- Lower heating and cooling costs: Because less conditioned air escapes and less cold air enters from the garage, your HVAC system operates more efficiently.
- Protection for vehicles, tools and storage: Stable temperatures reduce condensation, rust, battery stress and damage to stored items.
- Enhanced usability: When insulated, the garage becomes a more comfortable workshop, gym or hobby room—not just a parking space.
Garage insulation options for New Jersey residents
When it comes to the larger garage doors used for cars, many homeowners choose insulated versions as well, either when a house is built or when replacing old garage doors.
Insulated garage doors have cores that are filled with foam insulation, and metal “skins” that are often textured and detailed to look like old-fashioned frame-and-panel doors made from a solid wood design.
Although insulated garage doors are more expensive than uninsulated “economy” versions, they’re often well worth the extra investment. In addition to improving energy efficiency, the door’s insulated core helps to prevent the metal surface from being dented and bent out of shape. Home insulation is very important to a home’s overall comfort and efficiency.
