Door Store America Shares Cash-Saving Home Winterization Tips

Los Angele, CA, October 27, 2015 (Newswire.com) - The winter season presents a unique set of challenges for homeowners, not least the challenge of keeping the home comfortable without breaking the bank on heating bills. According to Door Store America, a leading door supplier in the Los Angeles area, taking some time to winterize the home can ultimately boost energy efficiency—lowering heating bills in the process. The company has released a new press statement, sharing some basic winterization tips.

“The more you do to ensure a tight, insulated seal around your home, the better off you’ll be when it comes time to switch on the heat,” comments one Door Store America representative.

A good place to begin is to go around the house and seal up any gaps or fissures that are evident. Generally, these will be most obvious around windows and doors. Weather stripping can be placed under doors to seal air in, and caulking can be implemented to fill any holes. The goal here is to minimize the ways in which warm air might escape the house.

Now is also a good time to contact a heating professional to have home heating units inspected and, if necessary, serviced. Ensuring that the unit is running at peak performance is one of the single best ways to keep utility costs down.

Homeowners are encouraged to check in their attics, as well, ensuring that there are no bare patches or missing pieces of insulation. If needed, new insulation can be obtained at a home improvement store for a minimal price, and placed into the attic quite easily.

Finally, homeowners may wish to consider investing in energy efficient doors and windows, if they have not done so already. Door Store America provides a robust online catalog and quick shipping all over the United States, as well as a peerless selection of interior doors and exterior doors—many of which are rated for energy efficiency.

“Investing in winterization can ultimately pay off in the form of lowered monthly heating bills,” the Door Store America representative concludes.
