Most people tend to overlook the importance of doors in terms of energy efficiency in their homes. They only focus on windows, roofs, and HVAC systems. However, doors play a crucial role in maintaining the temperature and preventing energy waste. According to the United States Department of Energy, exterior doors can cause air leakage and increase energy consumption.
Door-energy efficiency refers to doors that prevent humidity, heat or UV rays from entering the house, maintain temperature inside, reduce energy costs, and meet energy efficiency standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. Energy-efficient doors have multiple glass panels, durable insulation materials such as steel, and modern locking systems.
It is recommended to replace your door if it's difficult to operate, has signs of wear and tear such as peeling, cracking, or warping, is outdated, makes excessive noise, or poses a security threat. Energy-efficient doors offer better insulation, eco-friendliness, and a high return on investment when reselling the property. Though they have a higher initial cost, the long-term benefits outweigh the cost.
