Remember that before any new insulation is installed in a garage ceiling, the ceiling should be air-sealed to eliminate energy-wasting leaks and also to prevent harmful auto emissions from entering the living space above.
Cars don't need insulation as much as people do, so why pay attention to insulation in the garage ceiling?
That's a good question. But garage insulation in general turns out to play a much greater role in overall home comfort and energy efficiency than many people realize.

In many two-story houses, there is living space situated directly above the garage. When this is the case, the garage ceiling is the thermal boundary between interior living space and the outdoors.
For the sake of interior comfort and energy efficiency, the garage ceiling should be air-sealed and insulated.
Unfortunately, many builders neglect to install insulation in the garage ceiling. They may omit garage ceiling insulation as a cost-saving measure, or out of ignorance, believing that the garage ceiling doesn't require insulation because it's inside the garage.
Without insulation in the garage ceiling, the living space above the garage will be uncomfortably cold in winter, distressingly hot in summer, and wasting energy nearly all year round. If your garage hasn't been finished off with gypsum board on the ceiling, you'll be able to see garage ceiling insulation in place, or not. If there is a finished ceiling in the garage, it's a good idea to call in a home energy expert like Dr. Energy Saver.
