How to Make Your Entrance Door Energy Efficient

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

Though you probably don t consider it often, there s a lot more going in and out of your home through the entrance door than the family. A resurgence in the green revolution has prompted many homeowners to rethink their energy consumption, and for a good reason. Not only is reduced energy consumption good for the environment but also good for your bottom line.

But don t think that you have to install solar panels on the roof to reap the benefits of energy efficiency. You can accomplish the same thing by modifying and monitoring the parts that you use everyday--mainly your entrance door.

How can I make my entrance door more energy efficient?

The primary goal of checking your door for energy efficiency is making sure that there are no cracks or gaps where air can freely flow into and out of your home. When your entrance door is not maintained in this way, it can drive up the cost of heating and cooling your home. There are a few easy fixes to make sure your entrance door is in top shape.

To start, check your entrance door s weatherstripping. Depending on how often you use your door, this could need replacing as often as every couple of years. A good way to know if you need to replace the weatherstripping on your entrance door is to watch for small streams of light coming in through the entrance door s edges. To make regular checks of your entrance door s weatherstripping easier, have someone stand on the other side of the closed door and trace the entrance door s edges with a flashlight. Also check the door jambs and the threshold to make sure they create a tight seal when your entrance door is closed. If you don t use a door sweep, it may be a good idea to invest in one. If you discover that your entrance door does not have a tight seal, it is relatively easy to replace the weatherstripping yourself. All it takes is a trip to your local home improvement retail store and a few supplies, such as a cordless drill and a utility knife.

Another way to make your entrance door more energy efficient is to replace the door itself. Especially if you have a wood entrance door, you may want to consider switching to a steel or fiberglass door in the future since they usually come insulated.

If your entrance door contains a window or glass insets, these could also conduct heat or cold air into and out of the home. If the glass is insulated, it shouldn t cause a problem. However, if it isn t, you may want to consider researching insulated decorative glass for your entrance door.
