Rating of the best garage heaters
With winter approaching, more and more motorists come to the idea that they need to seriously think about maintaining a positive temperature in the garage. Otherwise, in the morning after a frosty night it will be very problematic to start the car.
The lack of heating in winter has a detrimental effect on many parts of the car, shortening the battery life, increasing wear on the starter and the engine as a whole. A positive temperature is necessary not only for preservation, but also for performing routine maintenance of the vehicle, which will be difficult to carry out in the cold for a long time. Another important reason for installing heaters in the garage is dampness, which leads to the formation of corrosion.
