Stop Drafts & Save Money: How a New Entry Door Improves Energy Efficiency
If your energy bills are creeping higher and your home still feels drafty, your doors might be the culprit.
Over time, exterior doors can warp, crack, or simply lose their seal—allowing air to leak in and out and forcing your HVAC system to work overtime.
The solution? A new, energy-efficient door.
Old Exterior Doors Cost You Money
Older doors, especially those made from outdated materials or with worn weather stripping, can let in cold air during winter and hot air in the summer.
These temperature shifts can dramatically impact your home’s comfort and cause your heating and cooling systems to run more frequently—driving up your energy costs.
Even small, nearly invisible gaps around your door can lead to significant energy loss over time.
If you notice a draft near the base of the door or feel temperature differences in rooms near entryways, it may be time for a replacement.
The Benefits of Replacing Your Exterior Door
1. Improved Insulation:
Modern
doors are built with energy efficiency in mind.
Whether you choose steel, fiberglass, or insulated glass doors, new materials offer better thermal resistance and tighter seals than ever before.
2. Lower Energy Bills:
By keeping your home better insulated, a
new entry door helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature, meaning your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard. The result?
Lower utility bills month after month.
3. Enhanced Comfort:
No more cold spots by the
door or noticeable temperature swings between rooms.
A new, well-sealed door keeps your indoor environment stable and comfortable, regardless of the weather outside.
4. Increased Home Value:
Replacing your
exterior
front door is one of the best ROI home upgrades you can make.
Not only does it improve efficiency, but it also boosts curb appeal—making a strong first impression on guests and potential buyers.
