Are you Throwing Your Energy Dollars Out the Door?

Gaps and leaks around doors and windows let heated or cooled air escape, making your HVAC system work harder—and costing you more.

Do you have gaps around or under your exterior doors? Those gaps are not only making your home less comfortable, but they're adding some very unwelcome extra costs to your energy bills. You can get a handle on energy waste and save money by sealing those gaps today.

Making your doors more energy efficient

You can seal gaps between the door and doorstop with weatherstripping. There are a number of products you can use, such as foam and rubber adhesives. Just remove any old weatherstripping and make sure the area is clean. Then, just cut the new weatherstripping to length and attach it.

You can fill gaps underneath doors with door sweeps. There are many different kinds of sweeps. Some will require fasteners, some will slide on to the door, and others use adhesives. Whatever type you choose, it will help keep your conditioned air from getting out.

If you have an older door, consider installing a storm door. It's a more expensive option, but a properly installed storm door will go a long way toward improving the energy efficiency of the entranceway.
