The entry door provides security to keep intruders out of your home. It also provides a barrier to keep cold air, rain, and snow out. If your entry door is damaged or worn out, it can put your family at risk and can also allow cold air to enter your home. With Connecticut’s cold winters, this can be a serious problem that can make your winter heating bills much higher than you would like. The solution is to install a new entry door.
Some homeowners think winter is not a good time to replace an entry door because cold air will come into the house when the door is removed and the new one is being hung. However, there are advantages to replacing your entry door in the winter.
A New Entry Door Can Lower Your Winter Heating Bills
The most important reason to replace your entry door this winter is that it will keep your home warmer and lower your heating bills. You will begin to see the savings immediately. A new entry door can quickly pay for itself as you save hundreds or thousands of dollars. It will also make your home more energy-efficient in the summer, which means cool air will stay inside. Your air conditioner will not need to work as hard to keep your house cool, so you will spend less on your summer energy bills.
You Can Get a Better Fit in the Winter
Seasonal changes in temperature can affect the size of the framing in a house. In colder weather, the framing returns to its usual size. That means that if you install a new entry door in the winter, it will fit tightly and make your home more energy-efficient.
You Can Get the Job Done Faster in the Winter
Home improvement contractors tend to be busiest in the spring, summer, and fall and less busy in the winter. That means that if you call now about getting a new entry door installed this winter, you probably won’t need to wait as long as you would at other times of the year. You can get the job done quickly and immediately be able to start saving money on your energy bills.
