Q: How many square feet is an average two-car garage?

• <div><p>An <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/2-car-garage-size.htm">average two-car garage size</a> is about 580 square feet. A common dimension for a two-car garage is 24-feet deep by 24-feet wide, as measured by the interior width. However, the manufacturing of larger vehicle sizes means many homeowners want to build bigger garages. It&rsquo;s not uncommon for a two-car garage to be 30-feet by 30-feet.</p></div>

Q: When does a garage count towards a home's total square footage or living space?

• <div><p>For a garage to be included in a home's official square footage, it must qualify as livable space. This generally means it needs to be attached to the home and have permanent finishings like proper insulation, finished walls and ceilings, and adequate ventilation. To be considered livable year-round, it should also have heating and cooling. The specific legal requirements can vary by location, but if a garage is converted into a finished room meeting these criteria, it may be counted toward the total square footage.</p></div>

Q: Do garage heaters need their own breaker?

• <div><p>If you have a garage heater that is 1,500 watts or more, it will need its own breaker. As a good rule of thumb, no appliance should exceed 1,500 watts per outlet for best outcomes. Consult a local garage heating service to determine the power needs for your outdoor or indoor space.</p></div>

Q: Does upgrading a garage increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, upgrading a garage can increase home value. Simply having a garage on your property, whether it&rsquo;s attached or detached, makes your home more valuable. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-remodel-garage.htm#faqs">A garage remodel</a> can give you around 80% ROI, though it depends on the type of remodel you do. Converting your garage to a living space can provide significantly higher returns.</p></div>

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>
