Step 1Fresh air

Fresh air

Keep it warm in the winter, and cool in the summer.

All you need is a squirrel cage fan!

Cut a square out from your crawl space door and mount a fan, you can even mount a wire to control it. (shown in the picture)

Sure its going to run up your energy bill a little but for myself its worth working in comfort and avoiding the stinky kerosene heater.

My crawl space stays around the same temp as the house, so all year round its kicking out 70 degree air.

what makes the biggest difference is that I creates a high pressure in the garage which helps keeps air from leaking in from the outdoors.

I have an idea wire up two outlets on the inside then connect them to two light switches on the outside one for the compressor one for the fan
