I have extended the stack a couple of times to prevent CO buildup when winds come from certain directions. I am within code, but I still set off the alarms on some days. My heater is an older Janitrol unit and is not power vent, and I wonder if changing to a power vent would help my situation.

So, a couple of CO alarms are cheap insurance in heated garages (and in houses to, for that matter).

This is a no-brainer in a "garage". Heat or no heat.
