Q: How can I open the garage door when the power is out?

• <div><p>There are three ways to open the garage door when the power is out. One is to invest in a solar panel and battery system or generator backup power. Another method is to use the quick-release key to disconnect the garage door from the garage door opener. You can also use the key to your house to wait out the power outage and reset the garage door opener once the power returns.</p><p>If your garage door key is inside your home and you don&rsquo;t have a spare key on hand to access your entry points, then <a href="https://www.angi.com/companylist/locksmiths.htm">call a locksmith</a>.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to insulate a garage?

• <div><p>Insulating a detached garage won't reduce your home's heating or cooling bills&mdash;and insulating an attached garage will only have a small effect on your home's energy efficiency. However, insulating an attached garage can reduce the transfer of heating and cooling to and from the outdoors, which can reduce the amount of energy your home needs to stay comfortable. Also, having an insulated garage is just more pleasant. Balance the cost of insulating your garage with how you'll use the space to determine if the project is worth it.</p></div>

Q: Where is most heat lost in a garage?

• <div><p>Most heat in a garage is lost through air leaks in windows, doors, and walls. This is especially true if the walls are uninsulated, which is common in garages. Consider insulating your garage before installing a garage heater to ensure the heat it generates isn&rsquo;t wasted, making it less efficient.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use for garage doors?

• <div><p>You have a few options of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-garage-door-paint.htm">paint for garage doors</a>. Acrylic paint offers excellent UV- and weatherproof resistance, easily adheres to surfaces, and dries quickly. However, it has limited color options available and requires multiple coats. Oil-based paints last long, are easy to apply, and may only need one coat, but dry slowly and emit more VOCs. Latex offers superior color reflection, available in a wide range of colors, and it&rsquo;s highly forgiving. However, latex can crack and peel over time and may need a primer for even coverage.</p></div>

Q: Does a garage ceiling need a vapor barrier?

• <div><p>A garage ceiling needs a vapor barrier if it&rsquo;s a heated garage or if you&rsquo;re installing insulation in the ceiling. Without a vapor barrier, you risk moisture issues and mold growth. If you have an unheated garage and don&rsquo;t plan on installing insulation that could get wet and harbor mold, the ceiling doesn't need a vapor barrier. </p></div>
