Are you losing heat in the winter due to a poorly insulated garage door? The largest entrance to many homes is the door in the attached garage. If you have a garage door with limited or no insulation, you may be losing heat and wasting energy through your garage. If your garage door is several years old, it may be worth the investment to replace your old door with a new insulated garage door.
Choosing a New Insulated Garage Door
Garage doors have insulation ratings to help you decide what door is best for your needs. Those who live in regions with severe winters, a higher rating will help insulate the garage during those frigid temperatures. However, the same can be true of hot summers. You may be losing cooled air through your garage in those sweltering summers, also costing you more in energy bills.
The rating to look for on garage doors to determine their insulation level is the R-value. The higher the value, the better insulation the door provides. You also want a door that has excellent sealing to ensure that air is not seeping in or out around the edges of the door. Professional installation by a quality garage door is important to ensure that the door is properly balanced and installed to get the best results from your new insulated door.
If your garage feels too cold during the winter or too hot during the summer, it is time to upgrade to a professionally installed insulated door. Call your local garage door service to discuss insulated garage door options and begin saving money off your energy bills.
