Doors
Don't Let Your Hard-Earned Energy Dollars Run Out The Door!
Doors, like windows, are necessary, but can waste energy. To control air leaks
and lower your electric bill:
- Make sure doors fit snugly in the frame.
Install a sweep or threshold to close gaps, and weatherstrip around the
outside of exterior entry ways. To check for cracks, shine flashlight at
night around outside doors. If you see light, you need to weather-strip.
- Choose doors with a high insulating value.
Metal doors with foam cores provide the most protection and glass doors the
least.
- Apply caulking around the outside of door frames
where they join the exterior wall. MEWS estimates that caulking doors and windows in an average house can save about
$32 a year in energy costs.
