5 Storm Door Benefits

Do you want a way to save money on your monthly utility bills, make your home more secure and be able to enjoy those spring and summer evenings while indoors? Roofing & More, Inc. may have the answer you’re looking for! Here are five ways a storm door can protect your home and save you money:

1.Savings

No one likes having large utility bills and it’s not always easy to make your home more energy efficient but storm doors are one way you can. Storm doors work like this: the storm door is placed in front of your main door so it creates a buffer zone between the outside elements and the main entrance to your home. The outer storm door blocks the outside air from directly coming through the front door and also acts as a second barrier if your front door is a bit drafty. So in short, more heat or cool air stays in, and the central heat and air doesn't have to work as hard, which saves you money.

2.Front Door Protection

A storm door is the door that takes the heat during a storm, hence its name, so your front door gets protected from all the elements which adds years to its life span. This means less money spent, painting and other maintenance on your part.

3.Better Ventilation

On those cool spring and summer evenings you can open your front door and allow the breeze to flow in through your storm door screen naturally. This will create a circulation of cool air throughout your home without letting outside bugs and pests inside.

4.Extra Security

Storm doors also serve as an extra security measure that helps keep your home and family safe. An extra lock and an extra door make your home less of a target and is a deterrent for any thief.

5.Tax Credit

Another great advantage to a storm door is the tax credit you earn. When you add an energy efficient storm to your home you can claim a one-time tax credit. The tax credit only applies to homeowners but it covers 10 percent of the total cost of the door (not including installation costs).
