Check you’re Garage Doors, Walls and Windows are Insulated or not.

How to check garage door is insulated or not?
The best answer is “touch”. Yes, by touching your garage door; you can easily identify that your garage is insulated or not. Touch the wall, door or windows of a garage and if you experience any of the parts is much cooler than any other parts then the cooler part is not insulated properly. You need to fix it as soon as possible before the winter will go otherwise there is no benefit of it.
WeatherStripping is Functioning Well or Not.
Weather seal is attached at the down edge of a garage door and forms a seal between a ground and garage door. If it is worn out or cracked then it may allow cold to come inside the garage door. If you feel too much cold (blasts) then you need to remove the old one and replace the weatherstrip to prevent the cold air. If the problem is consistent then you should opt for the expensive weatherstripping. There is one more benefit of it that there is no any issue of insects in a door.
