Energy efficiency is a concern for homeowners across Connecticut. With the state’s cold winters, you want to do what you can to keep the inside of your house warm when the temperature plunges.
Drafts Can Raise Your Winter Heating Bills
The interior of a house can become cold if warm air leaks out and cold air leaks in. One place where air leakage can occur is around the entry door. Cracks may seem small, but they can allow enough air leakage to lower the temperature inside your house in the winter. That means your heating system will need to work harder to keep your home warm, which will cost you more money.
A Storm Door Can Make Your House More Energy-Efficient
One of the simplest ways to prevent drafts around entry doors and make your home more energy-efficient is to install a storm door. A storm door can provide another layer of protection to seal out drafts. It will create a pocket of insulated air between the storm door and the entry door. This can keep your home at a comfortable temperature and can also reduce your winter heating bills.
Other Benefits of Installing a Storm Door
Installing a storm door offers other benefits in addition to improving energy efficiency. It can protect the entry door from the elements, which will reduce the amount of maintenance required and extend the life of the entry door.
A storm door can improve security in your home. It can be locked, providing an extra layer of security to deter burglars.
A storm door can also keep your home at a comfortable temperature in the spring and summer. Some storm doors have glass panels that can be replaced with screens in the warmer months. This will allow you to open your entry door to allow a cool breeze into your home so you can run your air conditioner less.
