The Many Ways Storm Doors Can Help Minneapolis Homes

As the cold weather comes on, you’re probably adding extra layers to keep warm.  You can do the same for your home by adding storm doors to your entry doors.  You might be investing wisely if you choose to install a storm door.

Storm doors are able to save you money in two different ways. It goes on the outside of the regular door and creates a barrier to weather as well as reducing any air leaks your main door may have.  Also, heat transfer is reduced because the storm door creates an insulating pocket of air between the two doors.  Many storm doors also come with screens to allow air flow in warmer months, so you get ventilation and cooling without needing to run your air conditioner as often.

The storm door protects the primary entry door, which reduces any maintenance costs and can add more security against break ins. This is especially true if your entry doors are wood, since Minnesota’s severe weather can be hard on wood doors.

If you have an old but in-decent-condition front door, then adding a storm door might be the best way to go. This allows you to insulate, which saves more energy in the long run.

Benefits of Installing Storm Doors

Although the benefits to having storm doors added to your home are numerous, here are some of the main pluses for your budget and your home:

  • Tax credits are given when you purchase a qualifying energy-efficient storm door. They will pay you back 10% of the cost of the door.
  • More insulation for the main door to prevent heat or cold air loss during different times of the year. This saves money on your energy bill overall.
  • It is cheaper and more beneficial to replace the storm door rather than opting to purchase a new front door.
  • Storm doors have many different features that can give your home more curb appeal.
