- What's your problem? If it gets too cool in the garage, just turn up the
- A/C. IMHO air conditioning your garage wastes energy. I keep mine
- ventilated, the A/C air handler is in there, but I don't cool it. Then,
- on the other hand, it gets pretty warm in there if both cars have been
- recently driven. Still, I just open the door and let it cool off.
