People who use the garage as a workshop and keep it sealed up in winter may be exposing themselves to a toxic stew of fumes from paints, fertilizers, pesticides, and stored gasoline — not to mention potential carbon monoxide from car exhaust and that open-combustion water heater that hasn’t been serviced in years. Enter the Garage Ventilator, a 7-cfm continuous-exhaust fan that goes on the floor of the garage next to an exterior wall and is ducted to the outside. The manufacturer also offers a fan-powered makeup register that can pull makeup air from inside the house, if needed. Pricing starts at $795.
