Definition
Garages are one of the most popular locations for home mining operations. They offer several advantages: physical separation from living spaces (noise isolation), often have existing 240V outlets (for welders or EV chargers), good ventilation options, and concrete floors that handle weight and vibration.
Considerations include: insulation (garages can get very hot in summer or very cold in winter), electrical capacity, dust management, and security. In winter, miner heat can keep the garage comfortable; in summer, adequate ventilation or exhaust ducting is essential to prevent overheating.
