Garage Heat

[Husker Z]

I could do that quite easliy. Excellent plan!

Garages used to be heated and air conditioned with actual vents that came off the main HVAC system until city building codes administrators decided that people would warm up their cars in the garage and fumes would get into the house through the return air system and kill someone.

(Pet peeve, don't get me started. Codes admistration... helping us all for the common good.)

On a side not regarding the fumes. I was listening to "Car Talk" on NPR a couple of weeks ago and they were talking about the new emissions standards on cars and how you couldn't start your car in your garage and try to kill yourself if you wanted to. They said that the emissions standards are just too strict and cars run so clean anymore, that's not even a risk anymore. They did go on to say, "DON'T TRY THAT AT HOME".

I thought that was interesting and had no idea.
