Save on energy costs during the winter or summer by replacing old doors. Front doors, back doors, or even a side access door to your garage can be a big energy waster. Keeping the cold air out and the warm air in during the winter months helps to keep the heating bills down. This also works during the summer months which here in Las Vegas can average 95 to 105 degrees for a few months. Also, the extreme desert heat we have here in the southwest causes the rubber around the doors to crack and peel. Replacing that also helps save on energy. Replacing the door to keep the heat out and the cool air in is a good idea and also a ‘Green’ idea. So replace that door with a energy efficient one, and improve the look of your home while increasing your energy savings!
