Have you ever walked by your front door and felt a chill? What about the heat from outside? If you can feel the outside weather, your doors are not energy efficient. Energy efficient doors save you money and help your home be more comfortable. Here are reasons your doors may be costing you more than you think.
The Obvious: Your Utility Bills
Whether it’s heating in the winter or cooling in the summer, a drafty door costs you money. Sometimes energy loss is from a poor fitting or poorly made door. Other times, it’s a door that’s not insulated or has thermal transference. No matter the issue with your door, today’s energy efficient doors can reduce your heating and cooling costs.
Moisture Damage
All too often when we perform a door replacement, we find water damage. Whether the damage is underneath the door or to the entire frame, water does significant damage. Once water compromises the door frame, other parts of your home are at risk for water damage. One of the other types of damage we often see around the doorframe is signs of wet insulation. When this happens, the insulation becomes ineffective and you spend more on utility bills.
Reduced Comfort

Wear & Tear on Your HVAC System
Energy efficient doors reduce wear and tear on your HVAC system because it’s not cycling on and off as frequently. If your HVAC runs even 10% less, it will last longer so you’re not having to invest in a new unit or repair it.
