No one likes paying to heat the outdoors—and if your home is losing warmth through your garage, that’s exactly what you’re doing. Improving the insulation in your garage is a great way to save money on your heating bill. To do that, one of your best options is to upgrade your garage door.

Garage Doors Let In Cold

Your garage door is a huge surface that usually replaces an entire wall in your garage. But unlike the other walls, it may not come equipped with effective insulation. A garage door made of wood, vinyl, or aluminum panels offers almost no barrier to the cold. This problem is compounded by gaps around the edges of your garage door that allow air to flow freely.

Add Insulation Today

There are options for improving the insulation offered by an existing garage door. A new weather strip at the bottom of the door and insulation installed on the back make a significant difference. But for the best insulating power, you should choose a new garage door altogether. Many doors are available with the insulation built-in, providing a more convenient and aesthetically pleasing solution to the problem of heat loss.

If your heating bills are soaring sky high, there’s an easy way to make a dramatic difference. Talk to your local contractor about installing a new garage door to save money in the long run.
