Your doors have to open and close dozens of times a day, and sometimes one side is freezing while the other is a comfortable 70 degrees. Considering what they have to endure, it's not surprising that doors get tired after a while.
If you're worried about energy loss because of worn doors, Dr. Energy Saver has exterior door solutions that stop conditioned air from escaping in this way. Contact your local dealer to get started on replacement door installation - schedule a home energy audit or free estimate!
While your door itself can remain in good shape, it's common for the weatherstripping to gradually deteriorate and stop doing its job. When this happens, the door starts to leak more air, losing energy and costing you money. The good news is that even your old leaky door can be made to seal tightly again when Dr. Energy Saver installs new weatherstripping.
Weatherstripping comes in many shapes, and sizes; it's even made from a variety of materials. Foam and V-seal weatherstripping work well around the sides and top of many doors. Along the bottom, a door sweep is often used to seal out the weather. Varying clearances around door edges and other factors mean that the weatherstripping that works for one door won't necessarily work for another. Dr. Energy Saver will show you what products will provide the most airtight and durable weather seal for your door.
If you are in need of a replacement door, Dr. Energy Saver will recommend this during our Home Energy Audit. We will also recommend the types of doors you should be looking at for optimal home energy savings.
Don't forget that your exterior doors to outside aren't the only doors that need to have their weatherstripping checked and/or upgraded. This smart energy-saving upgrade is recommended for any doors between your garage and your living space and for doors between a 3-season porch or a breezeway and your main living space.
If you do need to a replacement door to the exterior, Dr. Energy Saver can help identify that during our Home Energy Checkup.
