Many homes both old and new will have doors that allow cold air in during the winter and cold air out during the summer. The result is a waste of energy and an indoor temperature that is not as comfortable as it could be. Perhaps the most serious aspect of doors that allow this waste of energy is the effect it has on your energy bill and the national efforts to conserve our energy resources. Every homeowner should be concerned about conserving energy because if you were able to add up the costs of a door that does not prohibit the waste of energy, it could equal hundreds of dollars a year. According to the U. S. Department of Energy, a drafty door can waste from 5% to 30% of your energy. Of course, a lot of variables figure into this calculation, but why waste any energy and why be uncomfortable?
