While you should insulate your garage door, it’s important also to insulate the walls, floor, and ceiling of the building, too. If water pipes run through your garage, for example, insulation will regulate temperatures to prevent pipe ruptures and low water pressure. Protecting plumbing equipment is just one perk associated with garage insulation, with others explained here. 

3 Reasons Garage Insulation Is Worth It 

1. Save Energy

With an attached garage, insulation will prevent heat transfer and air loss through common walls. Since heat won’t seep into the house during warm weather, you won’t have to crank the HVAC system to maintain the temperature on the thermostat and keep interiors cool. This helps keep energy costs low, and will ensure there’s no fear of conditioned air leaking out of the house and into the garage either.

2. Reduce Noise

A garage door opening and closing can create a commotion inside the house. This could wake up family members late at night or early in the morning or also disturb your neighbors. Insulation will muffle noises inside the garage and stop the door panel from rattling. The added layer of protection will also absorb outdoor noises, coming in handy if the garage is used as a home office, recreational space, or bedroom.

3. Keep Valuables Intact 

Once the garage door, walls, floor, and ceiling are insulated, the building will function like a climate-controlled storage unit. Sealing the framework will keep humidity levels low. This means documents stored in the garage won’t become yellow and brittle, wooden furniture won’t warp and splinter, and electronics and appliances won’t rust.
