We installed air curtains in our garage!

We worked with the people at Berner to custom install commercial air curtains in our garage. The air curtains create an invisible barrier that allows us to have the garage doors open and keep the temperature-controlled air inside the garage and the mosquitos out.
If you're interested in any Berner products, I'd recommend that you connect with the same gentleman that helped me. Michael Coscarelli is their National Sales Manager. His cell is 724-971-1265 or you can email him at [e-mail].

The wired part is a reed switch, the detached part is a magnet. Great informative video, thanks!

[@KeithGrommes]

Thanks for posting this! Very informative!

[@jose_eh_eh]

Nice, what I needed to convince me to install one on my own.

[@benjaminbeksel719]

The power walls were just the beginning of the garage bling I see!

[@JasonLassen]

oh yes... I'll try to do a future garage video to show the other goodies!

[@crossdaddy03]

Just a thought in regards to installing the sensor on the ground. I installed the same sensor for my alarm but I installed it above the door. I attached the stationary piece to the wall and the magnet to the top of the door. This may be an option for you.

[@JasonLassen]

great idea! much better than the floor-mounted install that the manufacturer suggested I do.

[@mr.boniato6402]

Not sure if I would ok with having such a gap between air curtain and the entrance of the door. Bugs can still coming through the sides.

[@chrisfrancis8446]

So how big of a difference does it make?

[@TommasoChiari]

Hi! Is It protecting efficiently against mosquitos and other Flying insects?

[@JasonLassen]

yes, we've been very pleased with how this has worked out. It does a great job at keeping the insects out. It will slowly let the heat/cool air out so if we leave the door open for a few hours in winter, the temp definitely drops. I dont believe it ever equalizes to the outside air temp but it will have a noticeable effect after 15-30 minutes.

[@mikemcdermott84]

Are they effective at keeping leaves from blowing into your garage space in the fall? Or are leaves on the ground too heavy/far away to fight the wind

[@JasonLassen]

it really does a great job with the leaves and the insects! One thing to note on this - debris will come into the garage from the car and if you sweep it into a pile near the door and then open the door, the air curtain will blow it all back onto the garage floor! haha, that has got me more than once. *facepalm*

[@battleforevermore]

???!? whats the point of the air curtain if its not perfectly blocking the whole doorway? the sides seem open and so mosquitoes and cold air/hot air etc can easily come in and out. Have you dont any rough calculation to see if this actually helps in insulating the garage?

[@zedwpd]

anywhere you place your arm across the open garage while the fan is on you will feel it blowing, even 2 inches off the floor. As long as that wind is there, no mosquitos can fly thru.

[@Theincrediblespud]

Did you do the heated driveway in the end?

[@JasonLassen]

Yes. Best feature of the entire home! I'll try to do a video on it in the future. Thankfully, I won't be able to record any snow falling for another half year. haha

[@mikeg4810]

How's the noise level?

[@JasonLassen]

there are 10 speed settings on the Berner air curtains. the noise level is great at the lowest 1/3. the middle 1/3 is ok. the upper 1/3 gets annoying over time. Berner has a cool feature that allows the speed to change based on the weather which I really like because then it's only on the highest speed settings when it absolutely needs to be.

[@CB-bi1be]

Hey man how’s the air curtain been working over the last year? I want to put them on all my doors lol.

[@JasonLassen]

we love them. I honestly wish I had wired up all of our exterior doors for them!

[@sov19871987]

Geeeez, people will need the app to to take a dump soon

[@rvboondocker2559]

That’ll certainly empty the powerwalls quickly. Let us know.

[@maxxdv8]

I'm the maintenance supervisor over at berner and have been working with the engineers to make our units more end user friendly, so any insight you have after having them for a while, let me know!

[@aaescamilla0215]

Any development since your last comment? Im considering purchase for my own home some time soon

[@jamtime12]

you are special boy
