Not all home improvement projects need to be major renovations. Some more subtle improvements can really improve your home, such as window and door replacement. Consider energy efficiency when you are thinking about replacing your doors and windows. Phoenix gets very hot in the summer, and your air conditioner may have to work overtime if your doors and windows aren’t in good shape.
If you have single-pane windows, consider replacing them with double-pane windows. These have two panes of glass, typically with an insulating gas between them. This layer of insulation helps keep your home comfortable year-round, with less strain on your cooling and heating system.
While double-pane windows come with a higher price tag than single-pane windows, the savings you will see on your energy bill makes up for the extra cost.
Another added bonus is that double-pane windows can help muffle sounds from the outside world. Additionally, energy-efficient windows increase your home’s resale value.
A home’s front door makes a big impact on its overall appearance, and there is more variety within entry doors than you’d think. When choosing a new front door, consider energy efficiency, security, and style.
Look out for an ENERGY STAR label on entry doors, which means the door has met or exceeded US Department of Energy standards for energy efficiency.
Security considerations include the type of lock on the door, unexposed hinges, and whether the door has glass panes in it or not.
Your door replacement contractor should be able to advise you on style options that will match your home, so the first impression your home’s exterior makes is a good one.
Other types of exterior doors you may want to install include French doors, patio doors, and sliding glass doors. Some interior door options beyond the standard door type include folding doors, pocket doors, and sliding barn doors.
