An exterior door can contribute significantly to air leakage in a
home—as well as some heat transfer—if it's old, not properly installed,
and/or not properly air-sealed. This can result in energy losses.
New exterior doors often fit and insulate better than older types. If
there are older doors in the home, replacing them might be a good
investment for the homeowner, resulting in lower heating and cooling
costs. If you are building a new home, you might consider buying
the most energy-efficient doors possible.
When selecting doors for energy efficiency, it's important to first
consider their energy-performance ratings in relation to the local
climate and home's design. This will help narrow the selection.
