Hi Justin, thanks for listing your worthwhile tips. Just wanted to help add window treatment to prevent drafts to your tips to insulate. Your big detached garage appears over 1500sf and is separate from the house; so I imagine you have some cold mornings to overcome early. If I may offer a tip to just staple onto the trim, a thick 20 mil automotive clear window tint film. You may find it eases the clean up burden in the Man-Cave garage ! So before, my little 500sf garage temps were always below 50F (froze my ass off cold in winter); because of 2 drafty windows that always got DIRTY with dead bugs ! Now, I am clearly measuring and feeling a consistent 26.6 deg Fahrenheit difference in garage temp. Results before sun is up, the current outside temp measures 38 deg F. Yet, the inside garage is comfortably averaged by 4 thermometers placed at exterior walls throughout equals 65.5 deg. And I never have to clean dirt and dead bugs again !
Details: Easily and directly stapled an 20 mil automotive clear window tint over-top of the inside trim of 2 freshly painted garage windows. Not the thin flimsy stuff that is overpriced from the big box stores. I could not easily find a wide enough roll on Amazon either. Hence, I went to a local automotive tint shop to negotiate $50 roll of this tint measures a nice 48″ wide by 6′; to do 1 window. I used the 3M clear roll because lets natural sunlight in and is 48″ wide. Clearly wide enough to staple to the wooden frame of each window. Height is cut from the roll. I used 12′ to thoroughly cover 2 windows (6′ each). If I ever want to open a window, I just left a staple off to do a little reach around. Another value added feature is in case a window breaks, the thickness of the window tint will SLOW down a little rain or any other flying debris from getting inside the garage. This will be my 1st winter to further observe; yet I am confident that when the temps outside drop below freezing, the heating cost becomes noticeably less. If anyone is interested, I will share the results again with the Jan 2023 bill I get !
I bought and used a KillaWatt meter and did a timed test to look at what draws a lot. Energy hogs included that extra old refrigerator or freezer (200+ kwh/month). Changed to a variable speed pool pump and ran for 12 hours a day at a lower speed and saved 400 kwh/mo. Evaporative cooler in summer used 1/8th the power of AC. Also looked at vampire loads from things like landscape lighting transformers during the day, stereo systems on standby, TVs on standby. Computer monitors on standby. nightlights on standby. Battery chargers while not charging. I put those on switched power strips or timers and saved another105 watts just on vampire loads which adds up to about 70 kwh/month.
I got my Las Vegas all electric 2200 sq.ft. house with a 29000 gallon pool down to about 12 kwh/day winter and 23 kwh /day in summer. I moved to Centro Guadalajara MX in 2021 and live very comfortably in a 3000 sq.ft. casa built in the 1930s on a little less than 5 kwh/day.
Good advice. Ironically, my HOA won’t allow us to hang our clothes out to dry, even in our own fenced-in back yard! Go figure… 🙂
