Adding Storm Door - A Must?

With winter coming quickly, are you ready to stop the draft that cools down your home and wastes your energy? It may be time to install a storm door. If you have an older entry door, than you could be spending an extra 2% a year on your energy bill unnecessarily.

Storm doors range from 100 to 300 dollars. Some things you should keep in mind. Glass doors may not be good for your situation if it will catch a lot of direct sunlight. This can cause major damage to the entry door. Also make sure to measure everything about where you are installing the door. If you are installing yourself you don't want to make any mistakes

No one like to be unprepared for the seasons. Beyond the normal energy savings of about $10 a year, the heating of your house should be a lot better. Drafty doors and windows are frigid and cause heat loss.
