People have noticed that there is no heating in the garage and recommend that I should install some sort of heating system in the garage. I have my daughter's bedroom located above the garage but have not sensed very cold floors or room.
Answer:
If a garage is insulated you might want to heat it but I can assure you, if you heat it without insulation, you'll lose. There is a way that rooms above garages like this can be made warmer and I'm sorry I did not include it in my report to you. About the only system that appears to elevate this sort of situation is to lower the garage ceiling creating a crawl space. The walls and floor of this crawl space are heavily insulated and the area heated. This makes the space above comparable to the rest of the house as regards heat. Unfortunately, there is no requirement for builders to do this but it's about the only system that works.
