Proper Garage Door Installation Helps Homeowners Conserve Energy

Quality Garage Doors announces that homeowners can increase energy savings by installing a new garage door.

Culpeper, United States – July 13, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

Enhancing a home’s energy efficiency begins with a new garage door installation. The US Department of Energy estimates that the average American homeowner spends up to $2,000 a year on energy costs for heating, cooling and other power-related needs throughout their living space, and the spend for many people goes up during warm months. Hiring a professional garage door specialist is an excellent first step toward keeping homeowners’ energy costs down.

Areas of inefficiency within a home include drafty windows and doors and poor insulation. If the garage is not insulated, for instance, any heat or cool air from HVAC units that gathers there will be lost through the walls, ceiling and door. Loss of warm or cool air equates to higher energy bills, but with proper insulation and a new garage door, that air is kept inside the house where it belongs.

Over time, a garage door endures significant wear and tear from repeated openings and closings. The wheels, runners, springs and other components may need to be serviced and repaired to ensure proper operation. Doors that malfunction or stay stuck open result in significant energy loss to the outdoors. A professional garage door technician supplies proper sealing and insulation for a new garage door to keep the home energy-efficient.

A new garage door that’s sealed and shuts correctly makes it easier for homeowners to start their cars during the winter months, as the temperature inside may get cold, but not as cold as if the car was parked outside. In addition, if homeowners are planning to use their garages for auto repairs or maintenance, it may occasionally need to be heated or cooled for the comfort of the worker. A new garage door ensures the space stays comfortable when homeowners need to spend time repairing vehicles.

When choosing a new garage door, customers should work with their professional garage door technician to choose a door with a high R-value. Higher R-values for a garage door installation results in a slower flow of heat or cool air to the outside. Newer, more efficient garage doors have higher R-values to keep the environment cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. When the garage is properly insulated, the rest of the home will be as well, especially if there’s a room above the garage. A brand new garage door that’s energy efficient prevents unwanted temperature fluctuations from occurring in that living space.

Having a professional install a garage door that’s well-insulated and draft-free keeps energy bills down and saves homeowners money in the long run. Summer months, which offer viable weather conditions for outdoor work, are a great time to invest in a new garage door installation.
