Garage Unit Heaters from Reznor and Modine
Many homeowners are moving toward heating their garages, both for the safety benefits and the extra space. Should you heat your garage? Check out the top reasons why this has become a popular trend!
Avoid Harmful Damage
Freezing temperatures are not good for many things you might be keeping in your garage. Heating your garage will prevent the following harmful effects of cold on your possessions:
- Car Won’t Start — Keeping your vehicle in a cold garage can mean mornings when it won’t start. Freezing temperatures can kill car batteries and damage other parts.
- Frozen Pipes — If you have exposed pipes in your unheated garage, you risk freezing, bursting, and flooding.
- Spoiled Food & Drink — When the liquids in food and drinks freeze, they expand, sometimes breaking their containers. This exposes them to the air, causing them to spoil.
- Broken Appliances — Any appliances you keep in an unheated garage are at risk of damage to their components.
- Cold Pets — Do not keep your pets in a cold garage! They will be uncomfortable and could get sick!
Fresh Air Systems, Energy and Heat Recovery Ventilators
Schwantes offers a full line of HRV, ERV, and fresh air systems. These ventilators are popular solutions for addressing IAQ issues, and additional benefits include more consistent ventilation and humidity control.
Zone Systems
There is no better way to add comfort to your home than a zone system. Temperature Zoning divides your house into different zones or areas and then heats or cools them as needed. It’s an ideal way to eliminate hot and cold spots. Plus, zoning systems save energy by heating and cooling only the areas of your home that you’re using.
Our Comfort Specialists can help identify whether your home is a candidate for zoning and recommend how best to incorporate a new zone system into your home.
Packaged Systems
Packaged systems refer to the units’ self-contained nature, with all the necessary components to heat, cool, and vent the appliance in a single cabinet. Homes with little space for indoor units will appreciate that we install these units outside.

Infrared Heaters
Infrared heaters are typically used in commercial or industrial spaces but are now available in certain residential applications. They transfer infrared heat to people and objects, maintaining a comfortable temperature without wasting energy by warming the surrounding air. Schwantes works with Detroit Radiant to provide a complete line of radiant Infrared Tube Heaters, as well as high—and low-intensity infrared space and patio heaters.
