Simple heating system for garage with basement

For many car enthusiasts, the garage is not only a place to store a car, but also a workshop where you can do what you love, a meeting place with colleagues in your hobby. And of course, every garage owner would like to make it more comfortable and warmer. You can install an efficient heating system for a two-level garage with your own hands. One of the options for such a heating system will be discussed in this article. The system was installed in one of the garages with a basement and was operated by its owner for several years. The heart of the system, a stove that uses wood as fuel, is located in the basement of the garage and consists of a firebox located in the middle part, a blower at the bottom and an oven in its upper part. Around the stove there is a heat accumulator made of metal sheets, equipped with an exhaust fan. Part of the heat released when the stove burns heats the metal sheets and air inside the battery, which, if necessary, is supplied to the room using a fan. In addition, the metal structure of the battery serves as a screen that prevents combustion products from scattering.




The stove chimney is led through a hole in the ceiling to the top floor of the garage



Here, to extract heat from combustion products moving through the chimney, a structure consisting of a fan and an iron screen, which also serves as a door, is installed. The structure is located in close proximity to the equipped workplace. If it is necessary to direct a flow of warm air to the workplace, the door opens slightly, giving the flow the necessary direction.




To effectively combat clogging of a chimney that has several bends, a removable cover is installed on one of them. If necessary, the cover is removed and the chimney is cleaned of dirt. The tightness of the lid is ensured by an asbestos gasket, bolted to the knee.
